Thank you all for your responses. I'll dig into those materials Michael!

Stef talks a lot about how daycare is bad, and in many ways I agree: no one will care more about your kid's development than a parent, the kid gets far more 1 on 1 attention at home, lowest common denominator, minimum wage workers in daycare, etc. However, as Stef constantly reminds us, he is an empiricist. Does he (or anyone else) have actual evidence (studies) that demonstrate that the desired outcome of raising healthy children without emotional issues cannot be achieved by putting a kid in daycare and then providing great support when the kid is not in daycare. I get a lot of push-back from people saying you don't need to spend 24/7 with a baby/infant/toddler to teach them values, empathy, etc. Emotionally I push back against that, but I shouldn't do that unless the facts support it. Thanks for your help!
