The Experiment with Our Children

Denmark is the country in the world that sends children in day care facilities at the earliest age. In average, the kids are 10 months when they start in kindergarten or day-care. Here, the children are left with pedagogues 8 hours per day. Which consequences does that have for the children? Do we really know what happens during the children’s everyday life? The staffing in the day care facilities have been steadily declining since the 1990’s and the staff are under more and more pressure. But what does that mean for the children? The children are left in an unhealthy environment where the adults suffer from stress. TV2 looks behind the facade and investigates how the circumstances really are. An honest and open insight into how the everyday life is for the children in Danish day care facilities.
