Pre to Three: Policy Implications of Child
Brain Development
by Dr. Diane Fisher

There are some misunderstandings about
attachment; in a recent national Zero to Three survey, more than half of
parents surveyed thought that the more caregivers a child is exposed to in
the first three years (as would occur in a daycare setting), the better. In
fact, attachment optimally occurs with a single person. Experts believe it
is only after this secure relationship is firmly established (roughly in the
middle of the first year) that baby is ready for secondary attachment
figures. Multiple caregivers, a common phenomena in institutional

A favorite argument is to say, "sure, more time
with kids is best, but the days of staying at home are over." In fact, the
majority of parents of young children work out arrangements that do not

We are inundated with polls showing parents want more time with children,
not more day-care. To say that day-care is the only viable economic reality
or model for the future is just not valid.

Despite the fact that the latest research
confirms the importance of attachment.. we are paradoxically calling for
more and better nationalized day-care.
When day-care is presented not as an option, but as the model for the
future, we have to ask ourselves, why?
