Nursery Tales part two
by Madeleine
Bunting,
The Guardian, 8-Jul-04 |
All of this marks a
trimming of the sails of what has been until now the main thrust of
government policy on childcare - to bring affordable nursery provision to
the poorest communities.
...The tricky issue is that what is evident in many poor communities -
particularly among some ethnic minorities - is that parents have a strong
attachment to looking after their own children when they are very small.
...There is an acute dilemma here as to whether the
state should be persuading mothers of very small children to work. It
is one thing for middle-class professional mothers to enthusiastically
return to well-paid jobs, but the advantages are a lot less clear-cut if
employment only slightly improves the mother's financial position after her
contribution to childcare is taken into account, while leaving her less time
and energy to raise her children. |

Daycare bad for kids aged under 2?,
The Straits Times (Singapore), 9-Jul-2004 |
LONDON - The British government is reconsidering
its strategy on childcare in the face of mounting evidence that day
nurseries for children under two can lead to increased incidence of
antisocial behaviour and aggression.
...remarkably
similar findings (of researchers around the world) indicate that group-based
care can have damaging effects on emotional and social development for the
under-two age group.
These effects are evident even in children who are in daycare for as little
as 12 hours a week, some studies have found.

Daycare bad for kids aged under 2?,
The Straits Times (Singapore), 9-Jul-2004 |
A government-funded study
by the University of London's Institute of Education concluded that 'high
levels of group care before the age of three (and particularly before the
age of two) were associated with higher levels of antisocial behaviour at
age three'.
It also found that while higher quality of care could reduce the
'antisocial/worried behaviour', it could not eliminate it.

Trespassers-Governments
split our loot like burglars in the night, by Link Byfield, Calgary Sun
(Canada),
5-Nov-04 |
We had tried the big licensed
professional daycares, but it felt a bit too much like leaving (our
children) in a zoo, not a home, and they hated it. |

Easing child into day care isn't easy,
by Tanya Talaga, The Mommy Diaries, Toronto Star, 6-Dec-04 |
...Almost from the birth of their child, working
moms steel themselves for the inevitable: In one year, the child whose
every waking move you've coddled, studied and adored must be turned over to
someone else to raise for almost 8 hours a day.
No matter how you decide to handle it -- by hiring a nanny, getting a
helping hand from family or sending your toddler off to day care -- the
transition hurts.
