Benefits of Quality
Child Care

Quality child care possesses many benefits for the child.

• A gain in independence
• Improvement in social skills - learning to relate and get along with adults and children outside the family
• Improvement in reading, language and math skills, social behavior with peers and teachers
• An opportunity for experiences he or she may not have at home

There are some benefits for the family too which the parents might not be aware of:

• Frees the mother (or single parent) to work without having to worry about the child
• Reduces strain on the family during a crisis
• Gives parents a chance to communicate and share experiences with other parents
• Provides an opportunity for parents to learn about child development from a professional care giver
