Of course, as any educator will tell you, one on one, with gobs of love thrown in, is the best learning system. ::standing ovation::
The thing is, there *is* a place for childcare. Impish Girl (nearly 4) goes to a playgroup for 2 1/2 hours every morning. I get a break and she has fun with lots of other children her own age. But there is a vast difference between a few hours every day and 9-5. I know some people don't have a choice, but surely everyone can see that it isn't ideal?
Also studies have shown that children who have a stay-at-home parent are much less likely to go off the rails.
