Some of us who "care a lot" for our children think they should be home with a loving parent for as long as possible.
I just knew someone would flame me! That's OK. I totally believe in the stay at home thing. I myself have been the stay at home Dad for 1 1/2 years. It is the best place for kids to be. Preschool isn't all day long either, and he gets to be around other kids his age for a while too. Social skills is another benefit.
