This article from the Dakota Voice is promoting Christian homeschooling. It closes with links to MorningStar Educational Network. Of course Dakota Voice is a conservative Christian publication. But most homeschoolers would agree that daycare isn’t not the ideal situation for babies.
Major research firms and universities in America, Canada, and England have arrived at the same conclusion as the new study reported in the Australian Sydney Morning Herald, that “daycare damages babies’ brain chemistry and affects their social and emotional development.” It was reported, “significant among the reams of research are the so-called cortisol studies, which measured the presence of stress hormones in young babies — consistently finding levels to be higher in children in long hours of day care.” Children in daycares and preschools are not developing properly, and equally as troubling, is later public schooling.
A United Press Internation tells a bit, but not much about the study.
