The Truth About Daycare and Early Learning with Dan Wuori

In this episode of Parenting in the First Three Years, I’m talking with early childhood expert Dan Wuori, author of The Daycare Myth. Dan brings a fresh perspective on the world of daycare, breaking down the misconceptions and explaining why every environment—whether at home or in childcare—shapes a child’s early learning. We chat about how to spot high-quality childcare, why nurturing interactions matter so much for little ones’ brain development, and the challenges early educators face in a broken system. If you’re a parent, educator, or just passionate about giving young children the best start, this conversation is for you! Here's the show notes where you'll find a link to purchase Dan's new book, The Daycare Myth.
