Originally published in 1986, this book's focal point is a field
study which asks whether the social childrearing context of daycare
transmits to young children values different from those within
America's dominant value tradition of individualism. Daycare
critics were concerned that this social childrearing within daycare
would weaken the family and promote collectivist rather than
individualistic values, and thereby threaten the social continuity
of America's values. Through participant observation four daycare
teachers' interactions as they emphasize children's individual
learning experiences and children's social learning experiences are
examined. By focusing on the actions and words of daycare teachers
and their children in their daily activities over time, this field
study provides a conceptual model for an initial understanding of
the relationship of daycare to the continuity of America's values.
