The Daycare Myth: Childcare vs Early Chi...

Cara Tyrrell, M.Ed, Creator of The Collaborative Parenting Methodology
About this episode

Daycare, childcare, or early education for young toddlers? What does it all mean and what should you be looking for when looking for child care providers?


In this episode I sit down with Dr. Dan Wuori to discuss his new book The Daycare Myth: What We Get Wrong About Early Care and Education (and What We Should Do About It). We discuss the real need for early education from a very young age and the current policies nationwide. This includes parents feeling overwhelmed with the cost of child care and underwhelmed with the care.

Dr. Dan Wuori is a career early educator and also the Founder and President of Early Childhood Policy Solutions, a public policy consultancy to the nation's governors and state lawmakers focused on the needs of children and families. Learn more here.
