government policies and babies by Peg Lopata, findarticles.com,
Winter 1993 |
Parents who are not in financial distress,
however, are choosing daycare in the belief that it will do no harm. And
they are hoping that the daycare they have chosen is of high quality. As it
turns out, however, high-quality daycare is rare*, primarily because it is
extremely costly...

"There is very little frankness and honesty in
this area of research because of the fear of being politically unpopular,"

Low pay, minimal if any training requirements,
high turnover among staff, and other problems common to the daycare business
suggest that most out-of-home care as we know it is far from optimal.
The person you hire to care for your infant may be
caring for (many) others at the same time, may have just started out
in the trade, and may have never before cared for an
infant.
...the person you hire today might be gone in six months.

The high turnover rate among poorly paid
child-care workers...creates an unstable environment precisely when
stability is most needed in a child's life. "Turnover
among childcare workers is second only to parking-lot and gas-station
attendants," says Marcy Whitebook, director of the National
Child Care Staffing Study. A study conducted by the Child Care
Employee Project in Oakland, California, shows a 41 percent annual turnover
rate at daycare operations across the nation.
