Rifts, misunderstandings and misconceptions about childcare only help to confuse parents and keep truths secret. Ignorance causes hatred and its byproduct, stupidity, only divides a house that should be standing as a unit. I have seen note that more families nationwide choose family daycare than center care for children under the age of 3. Perhaps more people feel more secure placing children in a smaller, home setting. The most complete childcare studies from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill show the downfall of most commercial center care is the employee.
Poor centers hire and fire in the same manner as fast food restaurants.
Training, when there is training at all, is on the spot. The turnover of daycare employees is a national scandal. Pay is minimum wage or close to minimum, the work is overwhelming and thankless and there is no chance for promotion. There isn't a job ladder to climb. But that's not, by any means, a fair description of all commercial daycare centers.
