What it really
means: |
|
Early Childhood Development |
Our Early Childhood Development
Program is committed to providing a safe, supportive environment
for learning and development. |
Savvy daycares use the term Early
Childhood Development Programs so parents will feel their child is
getting a head start on his/her education. |
|
Early learning |
Our
national day care 'early learning' program ensures that children are ready
to excel as soon as they go to formal school. |
Child learns early that he/she
will:
- Have an ever-changing group of caregivers.
- Be sick a lot.
- NOT receive one-on-one attention.
- Feel abandoned. |
|
Educare |
Educare comes from 'educere',
a Latin word meaning "to draw out", because our elite preschool draws out
the values which are inherent in every child... |
'Educare' is nothing but a pompous-sounding newly-concocted word
made by combining education and daycare.

Friends |

and are therefore more social than other children. |

Fussy
Submitted by R.C. |
“Oh, your baby just started
to get fussy right before you got here!” |
Your poor baby has been crying all day
long. L |
|
Immunities |
Daycares help children "build up
their immunities". |
Children are chronically sick.
Contrary to this old wives' tale, the medical fact is that children's
immunities are NOT helped at all.
For an extreme example, if little Trenton were exposed to HIV/AIDS, would it help
his immunities? |
|
Independent |
Children in daycare are "independent"
|
Children are disobedient & obnoxious |
|
Infant Instructors |

daycare workers |

will be next, "Embryo Educators"? |
