[quote=Anonymous]Children in Finland and France all seem to go to daycare without problem for extended hours. A sitter is unreliable and in addition costs more money than most upper class people can add on after paying for a good preschool. Most good full day daycare/preschools here costs over $20,000 and a sitter adds on an extra $5000 even for 1 hour a day at $20 per hour. Poor people can't even pay for a good preschool much less pay for two different daycare providers. What is needed is a good understanding of what children actually need and then the daycares and schools to actually carry this out. No more of just "playbased" or "Montessori" or "Waldorf" or "traditional" or whatever. We need good preschools and schools that are utilizing the best teaching methods wherever they come from. Finland seems to get this and offers lots of support to their teachers and doesn't overburden them with too many children, too little space, or too much paperwork.[/quote]
