Did you notice that childcare facilities of today are a far cry from the old daycare centers of yore? I read in this link - <a href="http://www.ownadaycare.com" rel="nofollow">Daycare</a> that the creative arts, including music, movement, dramatic play, puppetry, painting, sculpture, and drawing, are a crucial part of early childhood.

I've wondered about the Dad's parting with babies v. moms myself - and many have told me as well that moms let Dads do it because they can't stomach the sad little faces - not sure I buy it though.
