The Erosion of Childhood
I recommend this book to anyone employed in the field of early childhood education however, the author gives a very opinionated and one-sided view of the cruelty and profit associated with child care. As an early childhood professional and mother of four children myself, I have seen facilities which are worse than some depicted in this book but I have also seen many which were wonderful. While I believe the book opens the readers eyes to these inappropriate and unscrupulous sites, I feel her book does not help the field and only sets it back to the era of the McMartin trials.
