Why Encouraging Daycare Is Unwise "Bird's Eye"

By transforming day care from a necessary stopgap
for the unlucky few into a normal and accepted part of average lives, we are
thoughtlessly taking a step of great consequence. One liberal professional
who has devoted her entire working life to overseeing municipal day care
programs warns that the shuffling of millions of middle-class children into
day care is creating a new kind of underprivileged child in America. We are,
she says, "duplicating the sort of developmental deprivation that used to be
suffered only by the poorest and most disadvantaged."

Another much-needed reform...[to
slow down the day care steam roller]...would be to stop favoring parents
who hire (daycares) [by letting them claim tax credits for their day care expenses] while
offering no similar credit to parents who provide their own care. One way to
do this would be to eliminate the child care tax credit entirely. Another
way would be to extend the same financial support to at-home parents.

Day Care: Parents versus Professional
Advocates
by Darcy Olsen, policy analyst at the Cato Institute,
www.cato.org, 1-Jun-98 |
When a recent Newsweek poll asked parents where
they turn for advice and guidance about how to raise their children, they
reported seeking guidance from grandparents, relatives, friends and
religious leaders. Coming up last? You guessed it -- advice from child care
workers. And day care centers, which offer the care that professionals lobby
the government to pay for, are the last place in which most parents would
like to place their children.
