At home has 优势 too.

You have more chances to communicate with them, really know about them, in general, I found kids listen to you more if you spend more time with them. I remember I see PANG YANG YANG's mom talked about similar exprience also.

My emphasis in last post is that we need to learn some skills from those daycare teachers. It's really not only about "威严". For example, one day when a kid is hitting another to get a toy, I noticed the teacher taught the kid to grab another toy to exchange with the other kid. This is a great way to teach them using alternatives and using words. We really need to observe these details and think what we can learn from those teachers.

If someone feel he/she really can not do as good as a daycare teacher, mybe seriously consider send his kid to daycare and find a job.

Again, all my suggestions are for reference. If you still believe your kid has to be hit (although only in certain circumstance), then be it. BTW, sounds like you have a great daughter, I think if you use other methods other than hit in those sepcific conditions, she will still come up fine. Maybe not at once, but she will.
