medical researcher says that day care is responsible for “outbreaks of

jaundice—reminiscent of the pre-sanitation days of the seventeenth century.
In 1991, an epidemiologist termed day care centers
“the open sewers of the twentieth century”.

In The Day
Care Decision, William and Wendy Dreskin tell the story of their own
experience in setting up a high-quality day care center in the San Francisco
area.
(Despite) teachers who had graduate training, low child-to-adult ratios, the
best in educational equipment and an excellent curriculum, …the Dreskins
began to notice disturbing changes not only in the children—some previously
happy preschoolers beginning to withdraw, lash out or cry incessantly—but
also in their interaction with their parents.
“The problem was not with our facility,” they wrote. “It was obvious
that there was a problem inherent in day care itself, a problem that hung
like a dark storm over ‘good’ and ’bad’ day care centers alike.” The
trouble, they determined, was that day care was disrupting the natural
family bonds.
The Dreskins were “so distressed” by what they observed that they closed
down their centers.

without a close maternal bond will someday engage in fewer marriages and
