Abstract The use of child daycare has been debated endlessly. It has become hard to determine how it may aid in the development of a child’s cognition or if it hurts it instead. This is partly because of the wide variety of types of child care and the opportunities that are given to young children. Fortunately, measures have been created to help standardize what a daycare does and how it is run. In this paper, several studies are assessed and the criteria that daycares are held to are evaluated. The effect of home environment is compared to the effect of a child being at daycare during the day. It is important to establish a high quality daycare while simultaneously engaging the child in a healthy life at home.

This organization in daily activities is a good characteristic of a high quality daycare center, in which children’s brains develop the most. In addition change of environment can help stimulate the children’s senses.

Lower quality daycares that may not be as certified or even informal daycare, where a relative watches over a child, has shown to not assist children’s cognitive development as much. They may not have the facilities to let the children go outside and therefore, they lose that advantage that kids in high quality daycare have. Many studies have shown how certain aspects of daycare affect how children develop cognitive including experiments in language development and the effects of informal daycare. Defining Quality of Daycare Many studies by credited organizations, including the National Association for the Education of Young Children and the American Psychological Association, have been conducted in order to examine the effects of daycare on the cognitive development of children at or around preschool age. It has been discovered that the quality of daycare has a somewhat influential effect on the development of young children. As a result, high quality daycare has shown to improve the scores on tests
