[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They may be getting a preschool "education" (probably more harm than good at this age—as studies on universal Prek show) but they are much less likely to get the same preschool experience—the small, steady cohort. The naps and meals at home, the teachers who truly chose this path. Do you really not see the difference?

Of course all children deserve the best early years experience. It has nothing to do with SES: If you care about children, stop pretending their developing nervous systems are adapted to 10 hours a day of institutional care—even with the kindest teachers you can hire. I am a feminist but that shouldn't require me to be in denial of child development. Feminists' goals should be to improve daycare and allow much, much more flexibility and job security when kids are 0-3.[/quote]

I am so glad you found what works for your child and your family. I found what works for mine, which you've just implied means I don't care about my child. Do you not see how closed minded and immature you sound? The research does not support that implication in any way, fyi. If it did you would see dramatic differences in children based on their child care arrangements at young ages. Just like kindergarten teachers can't tell which kids were breastfed, they also can't tell whether they went to a "real preschool". What matters most is the home environment (yes, even if the child is in daycare more than 30 hours per week).
