Talk:Day care

message: This article is not very balanced. THe section on Childcare and Child Development was woefully biased, even contradicting the content in the cited articles. This article needs to be expanded and made more balanced. Research, rather than opinion, should be included.--Westendgirl 18:23, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Can you please specify which reference is contradicted?  I was trying to fix a very POV external link addition with a brief summary of the pro's and con's of daycare.  Any expansion you add would be welcomed!  Samw 00:38, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The citations in the section I note above were biased. I've reworded the sentences to better reflect the citations. The previous explanation made it sound as though the citations said that good daycare was *equivalent* to parental care. However, this is not what the literature bears out. The literature merely states that good daycare is not harmful and that, in specific circumstances, it may be beneficial to children. Moreover, the previous explanation made it sound as though daycare was good for babies, whereas the actual cited literature says there are concerns about attachment and other issues -- the citations go on to focus on toddlers and children instead of babies. If someone has sources that say otherwise, then we can include those. But I have not come across any reliable literature that says daycare is good for babies or equivalent to parental care. --Westendgirl 01:38, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for all the changes.  What specifically do you want changed before we can remove the NPOV tag? Samw 01:05, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the Child Development section needs to be expanded. However, at this point, maybe we can say the POV is okay. I'll change that.--Westendgirl 21:49, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks; agreed, the section can be expanded.  Wikipedia is never finished! Samw 04:04, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Balance - Childcare and Child Development

message: the subject of babysitting is more expansive than the brief mention on this page. Joeyramoney 23:08, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  "babysitter" definitely needs its own article 

message: Should this article be retitled child care? Is the term day care confined just to the US or is it in more general use in the rest of the world? Dahliarose 10:22, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Day care or child care 

message: The Tufts University Child and Family WebGuide is a good day care / after school care resource.
http://www.cfw.tufts.edu/topic/2/146.htm
The WebGuide is a directory that evaluates, describes and provides links to hundreds of sites containing child development research and practical advice. The WebGuide, a not-for-profit resource, was based on parent and professional feedback, as well as support from such noted child development experts as David Elkind, Edward Zigler, and the late Fred Rogers. Topics cover all ages, from early child development through adolescence.  The WebGuide selects sites that have the highest quality child development research and that are parent friendly.
The after school care page of the site provides reliable information on child care and after school programs and the effectiveness of after school programs. This and other topics such as curriculum for after school programs are discussed. Some features include the “After School Action Kit” and “A Guide to Choosing an After-School Program.”

replies: text: I'd say not for this page since this is Day care and the links in Webguide are for after school care.  WLU 15:17, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Request a link 

message: Hi, can I suggest a link for the day care page to the national database of day cares in USA. This is a helpful service for parents looking for a day care in a certain State as it displays them all on one site with contact details. The link could be something like this:
*USA Child Care Directory National Database
