Abstract
This paper examines the issue of how day care settings affect a child?s development has been studied by many child experts and psychologists. It looks at how diverse factors, such as the amount of time a child stays at day care, the behavioral tendencies of a child, the child?s bonding with his parents, and the social and environment adaptation capability of a child, are being used as measures in examining whether or not day care causes negative effects to children. Research and studies on the effects of long-term day care still need to consider factors, such as the hereditary genes and the natural behavior of a child. Such factors, if applied, may provide more reliable results in determining whether negative behaviors of a child are actually caused by his long-term attendance in day care.
From the Paper
"The emotional and psychological aspects of children are the critical issues in the effects of daycare, especially on those who attended long-term daycare at an age earlier than 5. Researches have shown that these factors in a child?s development are weakened by lack of attachment and bonding from a primary environment that must consists of parents and family. The article Daycare describes two studies conducted by Janice Wallerstien (1995) and Karl Zinmeister (1998). Both studies indicate that even daycares with high quality of service are unable to provide the necessary attachment needed by a child in his childhood."

Abstract
In this article, the writer first asks what is turning America's children into murderers and psychopaths? The writer then notes that Brian C. Robertson's "Day Care Deception: What the Child Care Establishment Isn't Telling Us" implicitly asks this question at the beginning of his text, by opening his book about day care not with images of a child care facility, but with a high school shooting. The writer points out that Robertson has a simple answer to the complex questions that arose after the flurry of national self-examination that occurred after the shootings at Columbine High School, in the nation's heartland. The writer relates that Robertson blames the institutionalization of day care as a norm within the American cultural fabric for the increased violence in society and the alienation of modern youth. The writer concludes that Robertson assumes that there is an easy choice between day care or nothing, the traditional one-salary American family and the complete institutionalization of childcare, while for many working families, care may be a combination of love from two parents, grandparents, older siblings, friends, as well as day care.
From the Paper
"According to Robertson, daycare disturbs the mother-child bond, despite some studies that suggest that day care makes children more independent at an earlier age. What positive studies do exist, Robertson says, are the result of the feminist academic establishment, and what is construed as independence is in fact the seeds of bullying, social estrangement, and ultimately violence. Day care is a failed, recent social experiment gone horribly wrong and must be faced and addressed, before another generation of children are destroyed."
"Despite the fact that millions of parents send their children off to day care every day, either out of necessity, because of choice, or even a desire to socialize the children early on in the boy or girl's education, mothers and fathers often experience acute anxiety about the decision."

Canada's Children: The Fight for Day Care, 2001.
An examination of Canada's quest for a national day care program.
2,213 words (approx. 8.9 pages), 8 sources, MLA, AU$ 88.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the need for a national subsidized day care program to aid working mothers which will also ensure that entire salaries do not just cover day care expenses. As the number of working mothers increases, the number of available day care positions in Canada dramatically decreases and this impedes on the quality and price of care available. It examines the existing day care options and includes a table comparing child care costs in different regions of the country.
From the Paper
"During the past two decades, it has been quite effective that a national day care program is in high demand for many parents. However, many critics of the program are willing to confidently fight the system. Due to supporters if the traditional family, such as Kids First, a Calgary-based parents group with 5,000 members across the country, the Alberta government reduced monthly subsidies for individual day care expenditures from $256 to $50. Kids First members and supporters claim day care subsidies are prejudiced to stay-at-home parents (Chisholm & Jenish, 1993). Additionally, Kids First initiated a judicial challenge opposing the child care expense deduction of a maximum $4,000 per child (Friendly & Rothman, 1995)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the needs of children attending a day care center.

From the Paper
"Toddlers and preschoolers need to learn reading and math skills through everyday events such as cooking and playing with blocks, and telling stories and reading books. Caregivers should help children learn acceptable manner to act, sharing, resolving conflicts and using words not physical behavior. High-quality centers also give time for less-structured activities for exercise, creativity, interaction with other children and problem-solving skills. Both in and outdoor environments must be uncluttered and well organized, consisting of a variety of materials for developing large and small muscles, creative activities and age-appropriate play."

Abstract
This paper addresses the need for on-site day care. The writer presents the positive impact that on-site day care provides for the company and its employees, while using several examples of successful ventures that are already in place and operating.
From the Paper
"When the women?s movement exploded in the 1960?s mothers began to enter the workforce in record numbers. Never before in the history of the nation had so many women gone to work outside of the home. This triggered a landslide shortage of daycare providers that has never fully recovered. As the woman?s work force continued to grow horror stories began to emerge concerning the care of children while moms were working. Some children were being abused, while others were simply being placed in crowded situations where they were not being nurture properly. Still others discovered the hard way what to little supervision could do in the way of accidents involving children. As the female work force became a way of life parents continued to struggle with the daycare issue. Who to have watch them, what to do if they became ill, how to work without worrying about the children were all questions that became common place(Schools, 1998)."

A Look at the Issue of Day Care, 2002.
This paper studies the problem of families who are unable to find affordable high-quality day care and the repercussions.
3,536 words (approx. 14.1 pages), 10 sources, MLA, AU$ 129.95

Abstract
The lack of affordable and high-quality day care has been acknowledged as a social problem ever since Congress placed day care on its agenda in the ?80s. The paper traces the steps of lobbyists who have tried to improve the situation for low-income families. The writer finally gives a proposed solution to try to alleviate the burdens on parents to work full-time in order to afford childcare.
From the Paper
"The lack of day care has affected increasing numbers of families because of changes in the economic and social system. The ?70s image of the white-picket fence family, where only the father works and the mother stays at home to take care of the children, has become obsolete (Ehrlich, 1986, p. 52). Instead, since the eighties, families have had to increase their total family income to keep up with the rising costs of living. Inflation-adjusted income in two-parent families has dropped 3.1% between 1973 and 1984 (Fernberg, 1988, p. 66). In fact, according to the March 1986 Harvard Business Review, 40% of the workforce consists of both parents working (Fernberg, 1988, p. 66)."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this paper is to discuss the effect of day care centers on the social and emotional development of children. The paper will also consider how the influence of day care centers differs for infants up to the age of two and for children between the age of two and five.
The day care center is an important place for the social development of children because it is where children who attend them spend a large part of their day. The day care center is also where the child first interacts with other children and adults who are not immediate members of the family. The social skills learned during day care will have an effect on the child for the rest of his or her life. Many people are aware of the importance of the development of social skills in children beyond the age of two. However, researchers have discovered that social (...)"

"Part A
The lack of affordable and high-quality day care has been acknowledged as a social problem ever since Congress placed day care on its agenda in the ?80s (Jansson, 1999, p. 139). This result is the culmination of lobbying by Children?s Defense Fund, feminist groups, and corporations who have begun to hire increasing numbers of women (Jansson, 1999, p.139). According to Chambers (1986), the significance of a social problem is indicated by the number of people affected and also by the social status of the individuals or groups bringing interest to the issue (p. 119). The lack of day care has affected increasing numbers of families in which both parents have had to work to support their families. Concomitantly, corporations who hire working parents also suffer from the impact of the lack of proper day care when they lose valuable employees who..."

" EFFECTS OF DAY CARE CENTERS ON YOUNG CHILDREN
Introduction
What are the effects of day care centers on young children and what variables moderate these effects? The purpose of the review of literature presented here is to provide an answer to this question.
General Effects of Day Care
In a comprehensive review of the literature on the effects of day care on young children, Sale (1998) noted that most of the research conducted on day care centers was relatively negative indicating that, at least for young school age children, the effects were about the same as for self-care conditions. However, it was observed that over the years, day care centers improved greatly, expanding services to include appropriate educational.."

Armistice Day - Veteran's Day, 2002.
This paper discusses the history of Armistice Day that began after WWI.

Abstract
This paper looks at the origins and rituals surrounding Armistice Day, or as it is better known, Veteran's Day. The author explains how Armistice Day began after WWI and was treated as a holiday and since it was created, many different rituals are carried out. The paper refers to many sources describing the changes in the way Americans celebrated Veteran's Day after WWI to the present.
From the Paper
"At 11 a. m. on November 11, 1918, the imperial German army radioed to the world that it had signed the Allied unconditional terms of surrender, and had agreed to the laying down of arms. The guns of the Great War became silent, and were replaced by outbursts of joy across the nation. It was finally over, over there. In 1995, New York City commemorated this event with 500,000 cheering, flag-waving spectators lining the roads. With thundering drums punctuating nostalgic Glenn Miller swing music, tens of thousands of proud American warriors marched out of the past and up Fifth Avenue in New York's largest Veterans Day Parade since the end of World War II. This 1995 parade was a victory of sorts due to the fact that, in recent years, Veterans Day observations have become, as Robert McFadden says, "desultory at best, with spectators often limited to passers-by walking their dogs or heading out for a quart of milk." This parade was evidence of a revival in veteran appreciation, and a renewal of Veterans Day as a much-celebrated American holiday. But while this parade can be used to model a renewal in ceremony and enthusiasm, the true meaning of Veterans Day, or Armistice Day as it was originally called, has been lost through name changes and changes in those it is supposed to honor."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that cases of child abuse in all its types continue to increase in the past years, some occurring in child care centers or committed by babysitters and other child caretakers. The writer notes that symptoms of abuse may also indicate the quality of care. Further, the writer discusses that parents must also contend with the high cost of quality day care services and risk the possibility of their children developing poor social skills in these child care centers. The writer also points out that current research showed that regular day care does not have to interfere with the emotional connection between a working mother and her infant. The writer concludes that adequate provision for the child's basic physical needs, the feeling of being valued, being allowed to play and the mother's personality traits weigh much more heavily.

From the Paper
"Meyerhoff discusses how the economic, cultural and social revolution in the country 50 years or so ago has driven young women and mothers to join the workforce. To adjust to the change, child care centers were set up to keep the children while their parents worked. Scientific evidence stands that children raised primarily at home develop much better social skills than those who spend a lot of time in group care. These young children in the company of other young children in group care learn social skills among themselves through imitation and operant conditioning. Every child will try some strategy, which will get him what he wants. In addition, many parents have started to feel guilty about separating from their children and leaving them in the care of others. They wish the situation could be more beneficial. Parents can make the arrangements needed to address this problem, but they should not be distracted away by modern conveniences from the fundamentals of authentic human development. When a problem turns up, the author invites parents to focus their attention on the expectations they place on the child's behavior rather than on the child's behavior itself."
