I was wondering about this too. Up until about 15 years ago, I never heard of children going to daycare purely for "socialization". Yet since the beginning of time, children have been "socialized" without daycare. And for the majority of the time humans have been on this planet, children were reared and "socialized" by their moms, dads, siblings, and extended families.
Oh, and I did just fine too. But that was the 70's. Apparently, in the 21st century, things are different.
