Margaret Mead warned that "excessive dependence
upon the peer group" among kibbutz (ideal
daycare) and other non-parentally-reared children made them "unfitted for
venturing forth as individuals."

Currently federal program spending in
child care creates a system of incentives that favours institutionalized day
care to the detriment of home care. This occurs through government subsidies
for day care, financed by higher taxes on stay at home parents and, through
the child care expense deduction (CCED), allowed only to parents with children in receiptable day care institutions, thereby creating further inequity and a
clear bias in favour of institutional day care.

This dramatic shift from child-rearing
within the family to social parenting in day care facilities is beginning to
have frightening consequences. Stories of neglect, abuse, and abandonment
are merely the tip of the iceberg of a multi-billion-dollar-a-year industry
that is largely unregulated.
Sadly, this change in the way we raise children has been motivated more by
convenience and selfishness than by thoughtful analysis of the implications.
Psychologist Burton White, author of The First Three Years of Life, laments
that "We haven't moved to day care because we were seeking a better way of
raising children, but to meet the needs of the parent.... My concern is that
this trend constitutes a disastrous effect on the child."

Now that we have been effectively
conducting an unofficial experiment with day care over the last few decades,
the evidence is coming in disconcerting evidence of the psychological harm
done by institutionalized care.
...Over the last three decades, America has been engaged in a social
experiment with day care. As more and more children are put into
institutionalized care, we are reaping the consequences.

Unfortunately most parents are unaware
of this growing research. So is the average citizen who will no doubt be
convinced by "experts" that we need a nationally-subsidized system of
institutional care. Marjorie Boyd, writing in The Washington Monthly,
found that "...practically all the evidence says it's bad for
preschoolers....
Most people do not know that psychologists and psychiatrists have grave
misgivings about the concept because of its potential effect on personality;
nor do they know that the officials of countries that have had considerable
experience with day care are now warning of its harmful effects on
children."
...Children placed in a day care center too early are deprived of a primary
care giver and will manifest psychological problems.

Health costs are also considerable.
Young children are still in the process of developing their immunity to
certain diseases, and are more likely to get sick when exposed to other
children on a daily basis. While some ailments are slight, others can be
very serious. For example, infectious diseases (especially those involving
the middle ear and hearing ability) are three to four times as prevalent in
group care as compared to home care.
Dr. Ron Haskins and Dr. Jonathan Kotch have identified day care attendance
as the most significant factor associated with the increased incidence of
bacterial meningitis. Likewise, cytomegalovirus (the leading cause of
congenital infections in newborns) has also been linked to day care centers.
These and other correlations should not be surprising given the intimate
contact with so many unrelated children in an environment of playing,
sleeping, eating, and using toilet facilities.
