We agree that care and learning and development are
good for children, but the "science" does not say
"daycare" is synonymous with "care", "development" or
"learning".
The World Bank has a poor record in the area of
children's and family well-being. The purpose of
for-profit corporations is increasing corporate
profit. Corporations will profit ...
- by getting into and supplying the daycare
industry through "Private Public Partnerships"—the
government guarantees money for "spaces" (even if
children are not in them), training, capital and
equipment supplied by the corporations
- through lower wages as money is transferred away
from direct support to families (child benefits,
welfare) and into daycare. This loss of income-support
is intended to force more parents to spend more time
in and looking for jobs in the "flexible" workforce of
the new global economy
- through low wages as daycare acts as a
wage-subsidy to low-wage McJobs for mums and dads
Kids First has no political or religious affiliation and seeks to
work with all parties and all interests to seek equality for all families.
