More on why I'll never put my kid in daycare

According to a recent report by the National Association of Child Care Resource
and Referral Agencies (NACCRRA), 63 percent of the nation's children under five
years of age are in some type of child-care arrangement every week; and most
parents assume such programs are regulated to ensure the health and safety of
their children. In reality, that is often not the case.

...the NACCRRA
reports that just 10 states require unannounced inspections of child-care
centers; only 12 states require caregivers working in child-care centers to have
training in early childhood education prior to working with children; and a mere
10 states require caregivers who work from their homes to be licensed.

According to the NACCRRA, the quality of care a child receives during
the first five years of life is critical because 90 percent of brain development
occurs during those years. “Forty-six percent of kindergarten teachers report
that at least half of their students are not prepared to learn,” Senator
Christopher Dodd (D-CT). “If we are to remain a competitive nation, we simply
must improve our early care and education.”
