“Dan Wuori is uniquely suited to help guide individuals’ good intentions, their desire to do right by children, in ways that align with the science of early childhood development. . . . This book has arrived not a moment too soon.”
―From the Foreword by Dana Suskind, MD, professor of surgery and pediatrics, University of Chicago, and co-director, TMW Center for Early Learning + Public Health

“Dan Wuori’s The Daycare Myth makes a compelling case for why children’s experiences during the earliest years of life hold implications not only for them, but for us all. I wish I could put it in the hands of every policymaker and new parent.”
―Rachel Accurso, educator and host of Ms Rachel

“Imagine that you have the opportunity to spend in-person time with one of the best early childhood policy experts. Now imagine that he has strategies for how to change how we think and what we need to do to improve early care and education. Finally, imagine that this time becomes an engaging conversation where you have a-ha moments, cheer, sometimes argue, gain practical tips, and hear about exciting case studies that work. That’s what you get with Dan Wuori’s The Daycare Myth and so much more―it’s a desperately needed remedy for what ails the field of early childhood!”
―Ellen Galinsky, president, Families and Work Institute, author, The Breakthrough Years and Mind in the Making

"Dan Wuori's The Daycare Myth falls like an atomic bomb, destroying outdated thinking around the early years and exploring the implications of public policy. We'll be using this book for years to educate parents, policymakers, and the early childhood field."
―Berna Artis, CEO & founder, Artful Education Consulting

"The Daycare Myth is a book for the current times and a must-read for any person who has an interest in the future of early childhood education. Dr. Wuori has crafted a narrative that is both intimate and informative, and allows the reader a chance to view the world through an education policy and practitioner lens. He has fused a masterful narrative that combines research, data, and his own lived experiences into a path for others to see the light of possibilities when busting the daycare myth. He challenges us all to become more invested in developing a voice that includes advocating for ways to strengthen early childhood education across the nation."
―Dr. Edward J. Manuszak II, executive director of early childhood, Washtenaw Intermediate School District, Michigan, and founding co-chair, AASA Early Learning Cohort

"​A thoughtful, thought-provoking, rigorous, and humane affirmation of early education. In The Daycare Myth, Dan Wuori has created something very, very special."
