I do not trust people with my child that I do not know. Also, I have heard many stories of children being mistreated at daycares. The only "daycare" my son will attend will be CCA because I know the people and trust them. It is just too hard to find quality childcare these days. I am so glad that Texas is cracking down on this, though. Maybe in the future I will allow my other children to go to daycare, but for the time being...absolutely not. <br /><br />As for the educational benefits, the only thing a daycare could give my child that may be a little more difficult for me to give him, would be socialization. I can give him everything he needs. I know what he needs to learn and know. There are good parents out there that are able to teach their children. However, for those parents that are not able to provide for all of their child(ren)'s developmental needs, yes, I would recommend a childcare program. I just think it is a little "out there" to say that parents can't do the same thing a daycare can. Parents know their children better than anyone. (or they should).<br /><br />Anyways, sorry for my novel rant. I just have kind of strong opinions about daycare.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13659513094203925039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-798308195028341171.post-56663907892136320762011-01-05T13:44:12.330-06:002011-01-05T13:44:12.330-06:00I pretty much agree!

Seems like a bit much too me. But love the guest post idea! Love you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02417145514675206035noreply@blogger.com
