Who Will Rock the Cradle?

The phenomenon of children feeling
unwanted is the great crisis of daycare in our time. Only the family unit
can give children a sense of belonging and of being valued. Substitute care
cannot give young children a sense of identity. Yet the development of this
sense of identity is vital if these children are to become caring adults and
productive members of society.

The books and articles on helping your child
adjust to daycare say that, if a child isn’t happy, there’s a problem with
the center or it isn’t right for that particular child. Nowhere do they say
that daycare itself is the problem. And
yet, after two years of doing daycare, that is exactly what we concluded.
Once we realized this, we could not in good conscience continue to operate a
daycare center.

Unfortunately, daycare advocates claim they are
working in the interests of children when, in fact, many are simply
feathering their own nests.
In a debate on public television, the director of child development with the
California State Department of Education made the statement, “Children want
daycare.”
I responded, “Working parents want daycare. What
children want is their parents.”

…(Senator Paula Hawkins)
told of a daycare home in Florida where abuse was
discovered only after dozens of children were found to have gonorrhea of the
mouth. We know of abuse in daycare homes, with sitters, and in
centers. In many cases the parents had made a real effort to determine if
the situation was suitable and had been deceived.

One of the major daycare corporations has the
slogan, “He stopped crying the minute you left.” Well, sometimes that is
true, and it’s often what directors instruct the daycare worker to say
because it makes the parents feel better. Daycare workers will be told,
“Tell the mother he stopped crying the minute she left.” Unfortunately, this
is not always the case. Children’s unhappiness can last for much longer than
a few minutes.
