Study - Kids Watching Hours of TV at Home Daycare - NYTimes.com

"The study found that among preschool-aged children, those in home-based day cares watched TV for 2.4 hours per day on average, compared to 24 minutes in centers. Toddlers watched an average of 1.6 hours in home care and about 6 minutes in centers. Only home-based day cares admitted putting infants in front of the TV, for an average of 12 minutes a day."

What percentage of daycare centres actually *have* televisions?

What a scary thought. I removed my daughter from a daycare because I was upset with colouring book pages being sent home on a daily basis as "artwork".
