[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Within the same family (my husbands) whose socioeconomic status didn’t change significantly over the course of their childhood, the child who spent 1-2.5 in daycare had vastly better outcomes than the subsequent children who were home with a nanny (significant language delays in both girls, attachment issues that endure in adulthood). What this “study” (actually a blog post, consolidating various sources but ignoring others) doesn’t get at is quality. Quality of the parents and quality of the caregiver. No one should be making their decisions on the basis of this. [/quote] That anecdote wouldn’t lead me to conclude anything about the early childhood setting. The significant language delays suggest something much more consequential than daycare vs nanny. Even high quality daycare vs poor nanny. [/quote]
