Purpose: To inform my peers and professor about the reasons behind not sending your children to daycare facilities.
Tone: Frustrated
Audience: I hope to reach parents in Oklahoma.
Thesis Statement: I know most people choose to put their children in childcare out of convenience; however, they should reconsider because of the risks of putting children in daycare: it is way too expensive, you never know the full truth as to what is going on in the classroom, and your child gets sick, which causes you to miss work.
First, daycare is expensive and can be very costly to those who need care. The cost of daycare for an infant in Stillwater Oklahoma is around $185 every week. Paying that large of an amount every week can be a burden to a family especially to those parents who are first time parents. Some could say that the more expensive the daycare is the more that they offer the children. Most daycare's will charge more when they say that have special amenities that others do not that will keep the children safe. It is however, more than likely that the extra money the parents are paying that is supposed to be supplying these high tech features is just being put into the pocket of the owner of the facility. This brings up the next point about how truthful the staff of the daycare facility is being with the parents about the children.
Second, parents cannot always be sure of what is going on with their children and cannot be sure that everything that is being told to them about what is happening in the classroom is true. Some facilities have cameras and even allow the parents to have remote access to the cameras however it is very hard to tell what is really happening with not being able to hear what is being said and not knowing the context in which things are happening. It is just safer to keep your children at home or leave them with someone who is a family friend and is trusted. There are many times in a facility when an incident happens and there is evidence of the incident on the child but the staffs at the facility are denying that anything happened or are not telling the complete truth. This can cause problems.
Lastly, you have no idea if the center is getting cleaned properly. If the center is not getting cleaned properly it causes children to get sick, there are so many sickness that go around a daycare. When your child gets sick, it causes you to have to miss work.
