Policy of the Academy on Day Care: Some Doubts I. From Indiana

Robert M. Sweeney M.D.1

1 Indiana Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics, 211 North Eddy at Colfax Ave. South Bend, Indiana 46617

The policy statement on day care released in Pediatrics has been discussed at length by the Executive Committee of the Indiana Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

It is understood that it is necessary on the part of the American Academy of Pediatrics to make such a policy statement regarding daycare centers. One does, however, become somewhat concerned regarding the general tone and philosophy of the statement. It is felt that it mainly glosses over the fact that, for most children, child care and guidance are best given in the homes by the families.
