…most day care centers provide one care giver
to six infants, and the care giver won't be the only person with your child
if your child is in full time day care. bottom line: standard day care
cannot meet your infants needs.

The National Institute of Child Health and
Development has been conducting a long-term study on day care in America.
They’ve found that 90% of infant care is substandard. In fact, a day care
researcher declared there are NO good infant day care centers in the state
of Virginia.

Even in centers that meet cleanliness, education,
and staff-ratio requirements, what has been found
is that infants are rarely held, rarely spoken to, rarely stimulated.
Their only contact with grownups comes when they are changed and fed.
This is not what a baby’s day should be like, for optimal brain and
emotional development.

Social Skills are HARMED
BY DAYCARE
Children who experienced little or no daycare were more likely to behave
pro-socially, suggesting that daycare may actually inhibit socialization
for some children.

Illegitimocracy (or The Mommy Wars) By Lowell Ponte
FrontPageMagazine.com ,
25-Apr-01 |
Truth be told,
if you take toddlers starved for attention from their own mothers and throw
them into a group of 30 others trying to get attention from one day care
surrogate mother, there will be competition, frustration, and conflict.
But what else does it do to tender, formative children forced into that
struggle?

Editorial: Daycare damage: new
evidence
Full Time Mothers Newsletter
fulltimemothers.org, May 2001 |
Professor John Ermisch of the Institute
of Social and Economic Research measured variations in academic achievements
between siblings brought up differently. He found that for every year a
mother works full-time before her child starts school, the child's prospects
of gaining at least one A-level* fall by as
much as 9%.
*A-levels = short
for "Advanced level General Certificates of Education". A-levels are
non-compulsory examinations taken by students in England, Wales and Northern
Ireland at the end of secondary education -- typically during the academic
year a student turns eighteen.

We Don't Want
Daycare
compleatmother.com,
May 2001 newsletter |
The point is, universal and "free"
daycare is hardly that. Those of us who know what it is to share a
three-year-old's world wouldn't swap it for a minimum wage or a five-figure
paycheck, so it wouldn't be universal. And free? Who will pay for the
daycare center, the heat, light, and mortgage on the building, if not those
of us already paying for the heat, light, and mortgage on our own buildings?
Paying through the nose, incidentally.
We don't want daycare.
Send (the money) to the Mother (instead). Let her
have true choice about care of her young child.
