[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a two year old, I've never heard of daycare being better than a decent nanny. Where are you?[/quote] A bigger city than DC. And yes, day care in our area is fabulous. Small, nurturing, wonderful. The providers are college educated, trained in education - not just women who have watched children before. It's astronomically expensive though. About 2x more (or more) than having an in home nanny. [/quote] I'd like to know what city. In order to be an ECE certified teacher only takes la handful of college course and holding down a daycare job for a few months. One daycare directors are required to hold a bachelors degree. The way daycares are able to maintain their reasonable tuition with all the state required subsidies is by paying their staff very little. This is way there is revolving door of teachers in most centers. The highly qualified teachers find better paying positions, and the unqualified stay until they complete their education. While MA as a leader in education reform is changing the education requirements, those won't take full effect for the next ten years and years after for other states. No daycare program for young children will ever claim to better than individual care because everyone in education knows that individualized attention is far more important than group socialization during a child's formative years. So keep your delusions about childcare to yourself. Daycares were created to support the working class who are unable to afford nannies or have relatives to help. You seem a little bitter about your financial state since you can't seem to afford any type of childcare. [/quote]
