[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It might be one movie a week, but it would make me question the daycare more generally....I would wonder why they couldn't think up some other activity. Do they lack creativity? Can they not think of art projects or games, etc. that would interest the children for those 90 minutes? It would be a big deal to me not becasue of the movie itself, but because the kind of caregivers I am interested in have priorities that would make a regular movie day highly unlikely. [/quote]

This. It just shows a total lack of understanding about what is developmentally appropriate and beneficial for young children. At home I occasionally use TV because I have to get something done, like take a shower or make dinner or check a work email. It's not ideal but there is only one of me and I sometimes have to do other things besides watching my kid.  At daycare there are multiple caregivers and their entire job is to take care of kids -- there should be no reason to use TV unless the center is severely understaffed.[/quote]
