I wonder how the children more than 300 years ago learned. Not the children of those people wealthy enough to let the wife just look after their home. Those people had hired people to work in the field. Most people only farmed their own land. Most women worked in the fields with their husbands.

They brought their children with them and the children learned as they lived.

They didn't have daycare centers staffed by strangers. The children either packed along with Mom or they were cared for by a family member (grandmothers/aunts/etc). THAT is the natural order of human existance. The idea of sending children into large same age groups to be tended by strangers is a modern contrivance as far as I can tell.
