[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn’t say daycare is bad. Just “bad” in terms of increased cortisol for kids under twelve months.I can totally see that. A baby needs one on one attention almost non stop and I don’t think daycare gives that to that age group[/quote] One on one attention. I know daycare has different ratios by state, but in the DMV the ratio of infants to caregivers is 3:1. My kids were at 3:1 centers or 2:1 at an in home daycare. In bright sunny rooms built for age appropriate play and naps. My kids had more one on one attention at daycare than my neighbor’s kids who are the youngest of 3-5 kids. My kids never had to take stroller naps at a sibling’s activity or have their caregiver distracted by older children with different needs. Daycare is pretty awesome IMO and the socioeconomic advantages they gain from my earning power not insignificant either. [/quote]
