Day-care centers were clearly the most
dangerous; children in these facilities were “nearly three times as likely
to need hospitalization.” Furthermore, the cost of medical care for
children in day care was two to three times the cost compared to children
cared for at home.

In addition to the diseases mentioned,
children in day care are also more likely to contract
skin infections and other invasive bacterial diseases such as meningitis.
This disease may either kill or cause permanent damage to children.
Another disturbing study indicated that “Children in daycare are at a 50%
to 100% increased risk for contracting [certain] fatal and maiming diseases
for each year in daycare.”

It is also common knowledge that puppies and
kittens should be kept with their mothers until they reach a critical point
in their development when they can survive independently. We would not
consider taking a puppy, calf, or foal from its mother and giving it to
another animal to suckle. Yet many educated and sophisticated (people) fail
to appreciate removing an infant from its mother; and placing it in an
institutional (daycare) setting, is not only inappropriate but may be
detrimental to infant development.

Who Needs Parents?
The Effects of Childcare and Early Education on
Children in Britain and the USA, by Patricia Morgan,
October 1996
vii, Foreword, by Robert Whelan: |
However, the mantra of 'affordable, high-quality,
universally available childcare' serves no purpose, beyond, perhaps,
providing peace of mind to those who chant it. High-quality childcare is so
expensive that it could never be widely available, and those governments
which have made ideological commitments to providing it have, largely given
up--except on the rhetoric.

The claims which are being made for childcare are
so extravagant that they make parental care look like a poor substitute, or
a form of neglect.
