Review
“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"Dan Wuori's The Daycare Myth falls like an atomic bomb, destroying outdated thinking around the early years and exploring the implications of public policy.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."
―Catherine McTamaney, professor of the practice of education, Vanderbilt Peabody College of Education and Human Development

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT READ with ideas to Fix Child Care Policy in USA
The Book is enlightening for many, outlining the history of Child Care Policy, the pitfalls and mistakes of past and current Policy, the challenges and struggles of the current Early Learning Workforce as it is close to extinction, and ideas for the USA to support families with young children, while their families work, through policy that WILL reduce government and get children ready for school and life.
5.0 out of 5 stars A huge head nod to all that needs to be changed and how to make the shift.
Dan Wuori's striking delivery of the history and evolution of early education in America is an important read for ALL stakeholders. Redefining, rewriting, revitalizing...the time is now.
5.0 out of 5 stars Important read for the future of all Americans
I want to write that this is "an easy read"... and it is, I devoured it quickly and understood it readily... but the content isn't easy, and that is why this is an important book. Wuori does a beautiful job of describing the current complex challenges in the U.S. related to the early childhood education and care and related systems, and offering up next steps for parents, early childhood educators, and policy makers alike. "Indeed, transforming the nation’s early childhood landscape will require collective action." Great primer for the state of affairs for our littlest ones and ways we can make it better.
5.0 out of 5 stars Wish I could put a copy in the hand of every American policymaker!
As a school psychologist who evaluates preschoolers for special education services, I truly wish I could put a copy of The Daycare Myth in the hands of every American policymaker who would actually read it and do something about supporting high-quality childcare and education. (Sadly, too many of them don't--some keep talking about how they want Americans to have lots of babies, but they want them to care for them on their own without any government help or support, which inevitably translates to: "Moms, stay home." Because in their eyes, the government can't possibly help parents take care of their kids--that would be SOCIALISM or COMMUNISM or INDOCTRINATION or some other bogeyman.) Dan Wuori makes the case that every very young child might as well wear a sign that says "Brain Under Construction," and we do children and society in general a disservice when we act as if all that matters is that they be "looked after" while their parents work (with the main purpose of child care being "to make sure parents are able to work"). Wuori reframes the task to one of making sure these young brains are constructed with the support of nurturing and engaged adults, not just making sure kids are fed and kept safe for a few hours so Mommy and Daddy can be good little taxpaying worker bees. He presents bipartisan solutions for how a government can ensure this happens through a blend of different options, staffed by qualified and well-paid personnel rather than a revolving door of undereducated and underpaid people who may love kids but can't afford to stay with the work because of the abysmal pay. And it doesn't have to cost their parents a fortune, either. A public investment in the education of young children is an investment in the future that pays many dividends, both in the short and long term, for them and for a society as a whole; a refusal to invest that forces every family into finding its own personal solution may save money in the short term, but in the long run it is expensive indeed. Wuori has done a terrific job of presenting workable solutions--if only the powers that be will pay heed.
5.0 out of 5 stars Wuori Breaks Down the Myths and Builds a Path for Early Childhood Advocacy
The Daycare Myth is a fantastic read that truly challenges common misconceptions about early childhood education. Dan Wuori provides compelling insights into how our current policies often fail to align with what we know scientifically about early development. This book isn't just informative; it's empowering and ends with clear, actionable steps for advocacy.I appreciated how accessible and engaging the book was. It’s an excellent resource for parents, educators, and policymakers. Wuori clearly explains why investing in quality early childhood education is crucial, not just for individual children but for society as a whole. If you're passionate about making meaningful changes in early education or just want to better understand how we can support young children's development, this book is a must-read!
5.0 out of 5 stars A Thought-Provoking and Essential Read for the Early Learning Community
Thank you, Dan. What a terrific book. "The Day Care Myth" by Dr. Wuori is an insightful, carefully researched examination that challenges preconceived notions about child development in early education and care settings. Dr. Wuori's presentation is both comprehensive and accessible. This book is a must-read for everyone within the early learning ecosystem—parents, educators, policymakers, and advocates alike. I would hope that it also makes its way into higher education classrooms.Dr. Wuori offers critical guidance rooted in evidence and compassion, shining a spotlight on the importance of creating environments where every child can thrive. What sets this book apart is its balanced approach: it neither vilifies day care nor offers blanket endorsements but instead dives deeply into the nuanced factors that influence a child’s well-being and long-term success.The book is a call to action for all of us—whether we work directly with children, make decisions that shape early childhood systems, or support families. Dr. Wuori emphasizes the profound impact of relationships, trust, and high-quality interactions, reminding us of the shared responsibility we have in nurturing children’s potential.The clarity of the writing and the actionable insights make The Day Care Myth a resource that transcends academic discourse. It invites dialogue, reflection, and most importantly, progress. For anyone committed to ensuring the well-being of every young child, this book is nothing short of indispensable.Prepare to be inspired, challenged, and motivated to reimagine what’s possible in early learning and care.
The Daycare Myths and the Truths, identified by Dan Wuori
Dr. Dan Wuori has written the Daycare Myth, a powerful book that everyone invested in providing the optimal development for children must read. Although I have always known and subscribed to the 3 Simple Truths of Early Development, reading them again, reminds me that we still need to work towards a system that can support the 3 Truths. We have to attract eager, well trained people to support the 3 Simple Truths. We still must make sure that parents learn how to support these truths at home, and in choosing the best care model for their child. We still need to provide more and continuous training to those providing the education and care. We still need to convince our decision makers that quality care is dependent on finding well trained educators, and therefore providing wages that align with the skills and training required. We still need to educate the public that those who provide education and care (and this includes parents) are critically important in preparing our children for the demands of a very complex world. Dan Wuoir has effectively and definitively demonstrated the Daycare Myths and identified the pathways for addressing the 3 Simple Truths. Wonderful book ! We all need to read this and take action.
