on the effects of day care on children? I have been searching for it and can not find the real thing-just press clips about the dangers of day care. That doesn't help. I am interested in the article itself. I want to review the methods used to determine the outcomes, group determination, backgrounds of the family, and what the researcher team considered "quality" care. I like to keep informed and since my background is in psyc and early ed and I know how to read a research paper, I would rather review it for myself than listen to a blurb on the news. Thanks!

Thank you!!! I read the article Sunshine linked too (the other was a subscription service). It gave more details and answered some of the questions I had. Who knew that care by anyone other than mommy is considered day care! Yep, in that study even dad and children raised by grands were viewed to be in day care! So mom's should be available 24/7 I guess. And the methods used to gather participants was a bit skewed for my taste. Thanks so much for the assistance on this one!

If you have the name of the journal, I can find it for you and email you the article if it's restricted to subscribers...
found it - Child Development is the journal the article appears in. http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/toc/cdev/78/2
If you can't read it, let me know by adding details to your post - I'll check back. I've got it on my computer (I work at a university and have access)
