A. Child care – Early childhood education and care
Increasingly common, early childhood care plays an important

role in children’s development and provides a valuable support to
families with young children. It is therefore important to understand
the impact of these services and to ensure their quality and
accessibility.
Several studies have found positive associations between child

care quality and children’s cognitive development and social
competence during the preschool years. These studies suggest that
children who attend better quality child care during the preschool
years demonstrate better cognitive and social skills during this time
period, after accounting for differences in family background
characteristics that are also related to children’s development.
High-quality child care helps children develop skills they will

need for success in school and in their lives outside of school:
 Prepares child for elementary school

 Children learn structure and routine
 Learn social skills
 Social, emotional and communication skills
 Pre-literacy and basic mathematical skills and concepts
 An awareness of their environment and the roles of the
people in it
B. Importance of Day Care Center Exposure and Activities
1. Helps in managing their emotions and behaviour better

2. Boosts their communication skills and language development
3. Helps in their personal growth and development
4. Helps improving physical health later on
High quality child care can have a positive influence on children’s

development and school readiness by providing valuable educational and
social experiences. High quality child care is characterized as:
1. Having well-qualified, well-paid, stable staff, low child-adult ratios,

and efficient management.
2. Offering a program that covers all aspects of child development
(physical, motor, emotional, social, language and cognitive
development).
Research shows also that only high quality provision can deliver well-
being and appropriate development to young children. As an increasing
number of mothers are in the workforce and most children ages 3 and
older now attend a child care facility on a regular basis, it has become
critical that young children from all backgrounds should have access to
high-quality child care and early education.
