(Those who praise the use of) institutional day
care sometimes justify their (opinion) by repeating this claim that children
need the socialization and stimulation ordinary parents can't provide.
But they ought not to delude themselves about how much stimulation a
child can get when one young teacher must struggle to entertain eight
toddlers.

...a visitor to an infant center can see
well-meaning teachers of three-and-four-month-old babies counting and naming
animals in books, months--years even--before these children could possibly
benefit from such an exercise. Infants need attachment and love,
gentle long sequences of playing and responding back and forth, not
counting and labeling. But how would one post that curriculum
on the wall?

Readers who are mothers should reflect on how you
knew when it was time to change a diaper. Busy caregivers change
diapers according to bulletin board schedules. How much connection
and interaction with the children can these caregivers have, no matter how
well-paid, how well-educated, or how well-motivated they may be?
It's not their fault. They are moving from task to task throughout the
day, and their quality-assurance record depends upon it.
But the kind of attention babies need to thrive--that
they can never deliver, no matter what the paperwork says.

Pre-schoolers are interested in and enjoy other
children, but it is adults to whom they still look for learning and
emotional security...
Children learn to see the world through the eyes of an adult they love.
Claims that infants can be socialized by other infants, that preschoolers
can bond with their peers for ten hours a day, should be tossed where they
belong: in the garbage.
A senior day-care worker confided to me that, "babies have no business in
day care."
