I was immediately interested when I saw this article pop up on X today.For some background: I have a degree in Early Childhood Development and served as Director at an early learning center for over a year before returning to teaching. That experience running a daycare solidified one thing for me—I would never put my own children in daycare.My son was three when I ran the center, but he came with me to work, so I could keep an eye on how he was treated. He spent most days walking around with me or hanging out in my office.I quickly learned it's nearly impossible to both make a profit and run a well-staffed daycare, thanks to strict state and federal regulations. Centers can't pay caregivers enough to retain competent staff. Turnover is high—and that's terrible for kids.I saw so many little ones dropped off at 6:30 a.m. and not picked up until right at closing (6:00 p.m.). We're talking babies as young as 10 weeks. With one person often responsible for 4-6 infants, there was little to no one-on-one bonding time. It was sad all around.
Thankfully, when I left the daycare, my mom and grandmother stepped in to help care for my son while I worked.
I'd implore any parents using daycare to limit the hours as much as possible. And if one parent can stay home—even if it means sacrifice—do it. The early years matter so much.

This is exactly right. Daycares are basically modern orphanages except kids do get to go home sometimes.

I can't believe I actually felt embarrassment wash over me yesterday in a backyard birthday party on Capitol Hill when a parent asked where my 4 year-old goes to school and all eyes fell upon me.

Mothers who stay home with their children should be proud. In my own family, I've encouraged my son to be sure his wife will be able to stay home if she chooses. If she chooses not to stay home, I can care for their child while I work at home and that is my plan. I will do all I can to ensure my grandchildren have the same advantages as my children.

But they need woman back to work ASAP to push down wages and further degrade the family unit
The tide is turning and woman are starting to realise they've been sold a lie https://t.co/5vBq5W2R4a
It's so good to see young women embracing being stay at home mothers again. The tide is turning. There are still too many parents of these young women who discourage it though. Attitudes are hard to change.
We have completely downplayed the role of a mother and now things are going terribly wrong. https://t.co/8eqyFwOLPI

The social science data supports everything @EricaKomisarCSW says about how bad nurses and daycare are for children during the first few years of life. We see the negative results when these kids hit their teens/early 20s and then when point the finger at something else. https://t.co/8vrLf66Ng1

All evidence shows that babies and young children do best when raised primarily at home by their mothers between the ages of 0-5.

Secure early attachment bonding prevents emotional issues in adolescence.
Yet the Government gaslights mothers into believing nursery is better! 🤦♀️ https://t.co/uAc111Yz7E pic.twitter.com/GTIpZHTiKF
At home is best and Mothers staying home with their children is the best thing for their growth and development.
