As a former day care worker, it's institution for children and not healthy physically and mentally. I saw babies as young as 6 weeks spend 10 hours a day in strangers arms with exhausted parents. I would think, who is this good for? Day care workers are paid minimum wage and require NO training, beyond basic cpr. Spend less, want less, stay home with your children. I know this is not always possible, parents go away. But it shouldn't be the norm for children to be raised in institutions from the time there were born so that people can be better consumers of stuff.
Spend less. Want less. Is not only unrealistic, it's the American version of class separation at the child-bearing level. Even though we're the wealthiest country in the world, per capita, we're behind more socially advanced countries that provide guaranteed quality health care, child care, education, paid parental leave, generous vacation policies, etc. Not only that, the gap between the haves and the have nots, in America, is widening. Minimum wage is lower than in decades, relative to cost of living. We have policies that don't allow men and women to choose freely whether or not to create more children, and we don't educate children in how their bodies work, even when they are naturally becoming sexually curious/active. Then, we throw our hands up in the air as if we're bewildered why there are disproportionately mentality ill children and adults.
@@latebloomer7191 I agree with you on a lot of what you said. But not sure how it relates to daycare. There are choices, when I was young and having kids, we choose things like; I worked at night waiting tables and Dad worked during the day, so the kids didn't have to be in daycare. I baby sat other kids for money in home, so our kids didn't have to be in day care. There are always choices.
Yes . My child was there for about two years before i started working there. I RAN, i could not believe the horrors i witnessed. I homeschool my children now. Its been the best decision for us all. Healthy and thriving . Big mistake i had made.
I wish that our workplaces would support this…
