Kids in home-based daycare watch more TV

LOS ANGELES A new report in the journal "Pediatrics" says preschool age kids in home-based daycares end up viewing more television.

Seattle researchers compared television use in 168 childcare programs in four states.

They found children in home-based settings watch TV about two and a half hours per day compared to kids in a daycare center, who watched about 24 minutes a day.
