Day care is common today and supported by many, but that was not always the case; listen to the counsel from 150 years ago ---

“Drive not a timid infant from his home, in the early spring-time of his life,

Commit not that treasure to an hireling, nor wrench the young heart’s fibers:

In his helplessness leave him not alone, a stranger among strange children,’

Where affection longs for your love, counting the dreary hours: and innocence weeps unheard.” Martin F. Tupper
