Survey Says NIH Study Causes 60% to Reconsider Daycare

A National Institutes of Health Study shows a slight increase in behavioral issues that are linked to spending time in daycare (NIH Website).

MamaSource.com conducted a survey of some 500 mothers, and found that 60 percent of the more than 500 respondents said the study made them think twice about using day care.

Parents - it's important to wisely choose your daycare provider - the good ones will focus on social development as well as the academic side of care. While price is always a concern, be careful that you don't get more than you bargained for.

Providers - be conscious of the environment you create for the children placed in your care, make it a happy, constructive place that fosters social, emotional, relational, and academic growth.
