I would like to commend you for publicly
taking a stand on the Daycare issue. I, too, thought my son needed to be in a
Day Care setting to learn social skills. Well, I was right. He learned how
to hit, bite, talk back and use curse words at age 3 from a two-year old.

News, "Study: A Downside to Day Care?" posted by Michael Maiella, 27-Mar-07 |
...Daycares are worse for your kids for
the simple reason that daycare workers don't give a rat's a** about your
kids. Their loyalty is based on money. They care for your kids because it's
a job, and they're not about to go the extra mile for them. They're just
there to supervise...

As a former teacher, I have seen the
effects of daycare first-hand. Of the children I taught, the ones with the
most discipline problems were those who were in daycare...

Great Info! |
I love your website! It's great. I
totally agree. Nothing makes me sadder than seeing those little
strollers go by
with 6 kids in them staring blankly into space.

Wonderful site...thank you |
I decided to raise my own child when I
questioned the quality of his daycare when he was 5 months old. Thank you
for this website. Keep up the great work.

Hello! I love your site!!!! I have read
just about everything on it and I feel so bad when I (pass by daycares)
every day and see kids not being watched.
...I did put my dear son in daycare at one point, (but) once I read
the research, I left my job as a teacher and I took my son home...
...just wanted to let you know that you are doing a great job and I really
love your site!!

Kitty Cat room |
I just wanted to share a little
comparison with y'all...(On a visit to our local SPCA shelter) One kitty was
the aggressor who picked on the other kitties, some were playing all by
themselves, others were sleeping and some were standing around
crying/meowing for no apparent reason. I felt sorry for the kittens and then
I realized that this is what those poor human babies and children must feel
when their...parents drop them off everyday at a (daycare) where they
basically fend for themselves.

People who claim daycare is better than
a parent's care are just as bad as those who claim formula is better than
mother's milk.

Never ever again |
Thank you for your website. It helps to
reinforce my feelings on this subject.
...we put our little girl in a daycare that we deemed worthy. We researched
them and visited first, and felt this was the best one. We paid for camera
access...(but) those cameras don't tell you tone of voice and (the kids) are
not on camera at all times. So you never really know.
The first day, my little girl was great about (the daycare)....
The third day she was at the point of crying and not wanting to let go of us
as we dropped her off. When I picked her up this time...she made no sound.
She was near catatonic...One of the care givers admitted that my daughter
spent the majority of the day sitting in front of the glass doors, staring
and waiting for us to pick her up. She would cry every time an adult walked
by...hoping it was her mommy or daddy.
How in heck can anyone think that it's OK for your child to see you only two
hours a day?! Of course they will be depressed and broken. It's absolutely
not natural.

Finally there is a website to give
people a reality check. I think every parent should review this website
prior to farming their kids off to daycare.

Thank you! |
I absolutely love your site! No one
cares for a child as much as their own mommy, I don't care how "good" the
day care is. Your website is insightful, witty, and informative. Some of the
things that I read really make me laugh, and much of it makes me cry for
these children.
