[quote=Anonymous]I have to agree.  As long as someone is up front about their tv policy then it doesn't really matter what others think.  In all seriousness we do limit television (to say you 'see through those parents' is pretty silly).  We had no tv prior to my son turning 2.  Now that he is older we try to limit to about 20 minutes in the mornings (which is viewed on a computer).  We don't have any television on in the background because we have no television.

Both my husband and I grew up watching a lot of television.  We are both highly successful and well adjusted people, but I look back and feel like I wasted half my childhood watching crappy tv.  I wish my parents had limited my tv time so I would have been forced to do other things with my time.

Long story short.  No day care center should have a television.  A home daycare is a little different and that is up to what is decided between the provider and parent.  I would be wary of choosing a place that used television (around infants) but there would be other factors that went into the decision.  [/quote]
