I didn't mean to come across that way.
It does depend on the child care facility, too, whether the child gets the quality you describe. And yes, I agree that good child care has its advantages.
I find it interesting that in-family, non-parental child care has not come up much in this discussion. It used to be, and sometimes still is, that relatives looked after young children, either grandparents, siblings, or aunts, while both parents worked. Throughout most of this country's history, women have worked either outside the home or at cottage industries that took them away from child care in the way we define it now. The quality of care varied enormously, and sometimes children suffered severe injuries or died. Now we have licensed care, but because it's not in the home, it's considered inferior.
