[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the traditional pre-school model of 2 yo- 2 mornings a week, 3 year old, 3 mornings, etc is probably developmentally appropriate.  We all work for 40 years now it seems like it should be much more reasonable to take 2-3 years off for early childcare.

I really liked the point about dads being just as good as moms at early care.  Imagine if mom and dad each took a year off for their kid.  If it was normalized in our work culture (like the ceo who climbs k2) instead of penalized.  Kid starts preschool at 2.  It would make a big difference in behavior outcomes I bet.  [/quote]

Also think how much cheaper daycare would be if it was only for 2+.  I wish I could have taken a year or two off and been reasonably sure someone would hire me at the end of it.[/quote]

I took a year off when my first was born and was fortunately able to jump back in pretty much where I left off, but it was stressful. I wish I could be working pt until my kid is in K, but I think I’d pay for it career-wise. [/quote]
