I read a review about daycare which came to the conclusion that daycare before the age of two had clearly negative effects on the kids, between two and three it was mixed, and after the age of three it was positive (no daycare wasn’t an option for us but this was the reason we reduced hours as much as possible). The reason given was that it is stressful for little kids to be separated from their mom. But now I wonder whether infections don’t play a bigger role than that. Luckily my kids are pretty robust in that regard.
