| 520 | |a Governments in Canada and a significant number of Canadian citizens have not committed to public funding for child care services. A series of myths that reflect these concerns is frequently heard in public debate, myths that are repeated so often they have acquired a semblance of credibility. This report isolates eight such myths and subjects them and associated research to critical scrutiny, combining research evidence and logic to provide a readable critique to these frequently heard arguments against publicly funded early childhood care and education. The 8 myths addressed are as follows: (1) "Children need full-time maternal care when they are young"; (2) "Child care will harm children"; (3) "Families should pay for their own children"; (4) "Parents always know best"; (5)"Discrimination against stay-at-home moms"; (6) "Mothers would rather stay at home"; (7) "Child care erodes family values"; and (8) "It costs too much." Each chapter briefly characterizes the nature of the myth being addressed. There follows a point-by-point 10- to 15-page critique of the case, with evidence from both research and economic theory. Each chapter concludes with a brief, point-form summary of the main arguments. The final chapter offers concluding remarks, noting that Canada is heading toward a change in federal leadership and expressing the hope that addressing the need for comprehensive, high quality child care programs will once more emerge on the national agenda.
