It will offer daycare services from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, as well as supplemental behavioral-based instruction will be offered to children from age 18 months to 12 years; tutors and tutor supervisors will be Malott’s WMU students. Standard full-day tuition for day care will be $189 per week for infants and $157 per week for older students, and half-day care is also available. All I can say is: I think I’ve been needing such a center for the past, oh, 8 or (to tell the truth) 11 years. Charlie was in a daycare when he was 16 months old an...

National Nine News (Sydney) reports that the alleged incident was only revealed to Rochelle Hodges, Connor’s mother, several weeks ago, after a former employee of the childcare center spoke up: Ms Hodge said the centre, now owned by ABC Learning, tried to cover up the alleged incident as Connor could not talk. “His disabilities mean he essentially cannot communicate verbally and it’s clear (the childcare centre) thought there would be no way anyone would find out,” Ms Hodge told the Courier Mail Not sure which is worse, the alleged diaper-in-the face, or the cover-up.

Between my friend and me, there’s been several jobs, moves around the country, and she’s a mother now, too. There was an impossible amount of catching up to do. Nonetheless, the one topic we kept returning to was our kids, their education, their needs, and daycare. Once upon a time my friend and I had talked for hours about avant-garde Asian-American performance artists: You talk...

The basic idea, according to the couples profiled in the article, is that “gender should not determine the division of labor at home.” Marc and Amy Vachon, for example, decided …they would not be the kind of parents their parents had been — the mother-knows-best mold. Nor the kind their friends were — the “involved” dad married to the stressed-out working mom. Nor even, as Marc put it, “the stay-at-home dad, who is cooed at for his sensitivity but who is as isolated and financially vulnerable as the stay-at-home-mom.” Instead, they would create their own model, one in which they were parenting...

Whichever you’re considering, you’ll find the series of guest posts by Debbie Yost at Home Biz Notes of interest.  Debbie operates a daycare for children and writes about it to inform others of the pros and cons.  She has some very insightful information.

There was no difference between those men sleeping less than five hours and those sleeping seven hours or more. Well great! You want know how much more sleep my husband gets than me almost every night? Probably over 2 hours. I think on the average that women sleep a heck of a lot less than men due to the demands of children and most “part time” work being swing shift or night shift for childcare purposes. The definition of hypertension used in the study was a BP of over 140/90 or if the subject took regular blood pressure medication. The study was actually fairly large with over 6500 applic...

In 2001, the first phase of the study found that children in child care were more likely to be aggressive and defiant. Follow-up now when the children are in 5th and 6th grades show that behavioral problems continue. The latest study isn't available free online yet (why not, as it's a federally-funded study, one might ask...), but the NIH released a 62 page booklet summarizing the first phase of the study last year (available here.The correlation of child care and problems at school behavioral problems can be noted below, but also note that poor parenting quality (observing parent-child interactions, interviews) also seemed to h...
