Canadian mines `big-box' daycare,
by Laurie Monsebraaten, The Toronto Star, 5-Feb-05 |
Meet Eddy Groves.
The 38-year-old Canadian citizen who drives a Ferrari*
and owns the Brisbane Bullets basketball team is one of Australia's richest
people under 40.
He made his fortune in day-care.
Groves was spurred on by the Australian government's decision in 1991 to
invest heavily in child care and give commercial operators access to public
cash.
...He controls about 20 per cent of Australia's 4,400 child-care centres.
His private fortune is reportedly worth $175 million and his publicly traded
company is valued at about $1.2 billion.
...Each of his centres, which sport a cuddly mauve teddy bear with
outstretched arms, makes an annual profit of about $100,000. Almost half
of his revenue comes from government child-care benefits, paid to
parents or directly to centres to help cover the cost of care.
...And with the Australian government pumping $1.7 billion a year into
child-care benefits — and corporate daycare profits — the diaper dividends
Down Under aren't expected to dry up anytime soon.
*Ferrari = an
expensive Italian sports car

Kids' most important teachers:
Parents
by Jana Fortner, Syndicated
Columnist
Lexington Herald Leader, 8-Feb-05 |
In today's fast-paced culture, the parent-child
relationship is being sacrificed. Most children spend eight hours or
more in the company of teachers, daycare providers and other children.
However well-intentioned and committed teachers and day-care workers are,
they cannot love a child the way his parents can. There are lessons
your child needs to learn from someone who loves him unconditionally.

Politics of national daycare
by John Derringer,
Toronto Sun, 18-Feb-06 |
The five-year, $5 billion (national
daycare program) plan will make life a lot easier for the millions of
Canadians who need daycare for their children, but it will do nothing to
help those who choose instead to raise their toddlers at home.
...Like most Canadians, I'm willing to see my tax dollars support families
who truly need it. In other words, paying for the daycare of a family that's
pulling in a collective $35,000 is not a problem. Paying for the daycare of
a family making $1,000,000 a year is a different story indeed.
However, there are no such divisions in the Liberal legislation. You want
daycare, you'll get it, regardless of income.

Politics of national daycare
by John Derringer,
Toronto Sun, 18-Feb-06 |
We punish stay-at-home moms in many
ways:
...claims that day-care is actually better for kids than being at home with
mom, and maybe most importantly, financial incentives to leave your kids
with someone other than a parent.

Our children deserve better
by Janet L. Jackson, Calgary Sun, 2-Mar-05
|
For the first time in memory, our laws
are no longer based on the needs of children but on the wants of adults.
Socialized day care is an example of this.
Social-liberals are determined to socially experiment on Canada, even if
their ideas didn't work elsewhere. Norway experimented with national day
care but rejected it because it takes away parental choice and Norway also
couldn't afford the price tag.

Our children deserve better
by Janet L. Jackson, Calgary Sun, 2-Mar-05
|
Have you noticed how "child-care
advocates" never refer to "day cares" or "day homes?" Because,
in...daycare-lobby-speak, what will be provided is "early learning care
centres."

Our children deserve better
by Janet L. Jackson, Calgary Sun, 2-Mar-05 |
The
monkeys have it figured out better than the (daycare advocates). In
nature, primate mothers dedicate four to five years of time to their
newborns, teaching complicated skills necessary in a social hierarchy. |
Our children deserve better
by Janet L. Jackson, Calgary Sun, 2-Mar-05 |
...rather
than looking at tax credits for parents or lessening the tax burden in a
significant way, the (Government) chose to pander to the socialized day care
special interest...
