M
ost families use a combination
of care arrangements to meet
all of their needs; the best
child care arrangements are those that work
best for you, your child, and your family.
Types of care arrangements can include:
• Parent only care
• Care by a relative
• Non-relative care by nannies, friends,
or neighbors (in the child’s home or a
licensed family child care home)
• Child care centers
Depending on each child’s needs, ben-
efits of high quality child care can include:
• Enhanced brain growth and child de-
velopment
• Greater success in school (better math
and language skills)
• Better cognition, social skills, inter-
personal relationships, and self-regu-
lation
• Decreased need for special education
and related services later
• Lower adolescent pregnancy rates
and lower juvenile crime
• Higher graduation rates
By visiting the American Academy
of Pediatrics’ website page at https://bit.
ly/2QxETrY, you will find links to facts
and information on why quality infant and
toddler child care matters, a detailed report
entitled “Is This The Right Place For My
Child: 38 Research-Based Indicators of
Quality Child Care,” as well as resources
to educate you about individual states’
child care licensure regulations. Links on
that page will also take you to your local
Child Care Resource & Referral Agency,
The National Association for the Educa-
tion of Young Children, which accred-
its child care centers through a rigorous
process, and The National Association of
Family Child Care which does the same
for home-based care.
Why is it important to have high qual-
ity child care? According to the American
Academy of Pediatrics, all of a child’s ear-
ly experiences, whether at home, in child
care, or in other preschool settings are
educational. The indicators of high quality
child care have been studied and are avail-
able in many formats. When care is con-
sistent, emotionally supportive, and appro-
priate to the child’s age, development, and
temperament, there is a positive effect on
children and families.
