"Pre to Three: Policy Implications of
Child Brain Development",
Testimony by Diane Fisher, Ph.D, familyandhome.org,

Lately, we've read reports stating that
high-quality, non-parental daycare is the equivalent of being at home with
mom or dad. In reality, how much can "quality" daycare accomplish?
...these children miss their parents' perspective on the world: their
comments, jokes, the mirror through which they learn who they are, a sense
of family identity -- irreplaceable stuff -- neither trivial nor superficial
-- but so devalued in our society!

"Pre to Three: Policy Implications of
Child Brain Development",
Testimony by Diane Fisher, Ph.D, familyandhome.org,
5-Jun-97 |
Multiple caregivers, a common phenomena
in institutional care (day-care), is very destructive to the developmental goals
of the first three years of life. It is unfortunate that our society is
impatient with slow, subtle infant schedules in this fast, goal-oriented
culture.

"Pre to Three: Policy Implications of
Child Brain Development",
Testimony by Diane Fisher, Ph.D, familyandhome.org,

If we agree that attachment and
emotional development are critical for healthy, well-functioning children,
then encouraging parents to place their infants and young children in
daycare at early ages and for long hours does not appear to be in their
children's, and ultimately, society's best interests.

Things Immeasurable
I have respect for studies that
attempt to grapple with the issues of children's growth and their response
to different environments. I must comment, however, on what is not measured.
Science cannot quantify important social qualities such as compassion,
courage, character, and moral vision. These traits are inextricably linked
with attachment and emotional development. Do we really believe that these
and other important values can be reduced to learning objectives and
effectively taught in all-day early childhood (daycare) group settings?
