 By: Elizabeth Harrison
Early childhood education is a determining factor
  in how well a child will perform in his or her
  school-age years (ProQuest).

                 The Question:
Does putting a preschool child in child-care affect
 the development of the child compared to being
            taken care of at the home?
FAQ
• Would I be able to provide my child with their
  own food?
  – Most day cares you won't be able to making the
    obesity rate of child go up even more than it already
    is.
• Are day cares safe?
  – Some are. You must do your research before placing
    your child into such care.
• How do you find a good day care?
  – Word of mouth, proper looking, research, and
    advertisements .
Statistics
• Percentages of preschool children with employed mothers in different
  kinds of day care (ProQuest):
                              Relatives – 24.8%
                         Child Care Centers – 24.3%
                               Father – 17.5%
                               Nanny – 17.2%
                  Other (No regular arrangements) – 13%
                        Mother while working – 3.2%
• “In the U.S. more and more children are spending more and more time in
  non-maternal care than ever before (Eberstadt).
Reason 1

BEHAVIORAL ISSUES
Behavior
• In a study it showed that the more time preschoolers
  spent in day care centers, the more aggressive and
  disobedient they were in sixth grade according to
  teacher reports (Elias).
• Those spending long hours in day care as preschoolers
  are more impulsive and more prone to take risks than a
  teens whose toddler years were spent largely at home
  (Healy).
• Regardless of where the child was cared for, those who
  spent more time in non-maternal care were more likely
  to have behavior problems than children who spent
  less time in child care (FitzGerald)
Reason 2

OBESITY INCREASE
Obesity
• In a recent study they found that in general,
  American child in child care are too sedentary
  and not getting enough nutrients, even when
  served a variety of foods (Reardon).
• “Eating a diet that is high in sugar and refined
  starch can train the palate from a very young age
  to accept only these tastes” stated Rostler a
  registered dietitian (Reardon).
• Many day-care providers said introducing fruits
  and vegetables to children in their care has
  become an uphill battle (Reardon).
Reason 3

TELEVISION TIME
Television
• Any time a TV is on, children speak less and
  adults interact with them less frequently
  (Blankinship).
• Research has connected excessive TV watching
  during the preschool years with language delay,
  obesity, attention problems and aggression
  (Blankinship).
• TV for young children is taking away time that
  could be spent playing outside, reading, playing
  with blocks and interacting with those around
  (Blankinship).
