Child-care funding remains a top priority

The Arizona Daily Star

Many parents shuddered Monday when they read the Star's front-page story about a report from the longest-running study of American child care. The study found that preschoolers who spend a year or more in a day-care center are more likely to become disruptive in elementary classrooms than children who are not in child-care centers.

When children who spent that year or so in a child-care center became fifth- and sixth-graders, they were slightly more inclined to "get in fights" and be "disobedient at school."

This is not a reason to panic.
