Book Description:
|
Quality childcare, the authors show, may be more beneficial to children than staying home. Although children who spend many hours in care may be more unruly than children at home, those who attend quality programs tend to be cognitively ahead of their peers. They are just as attached to their mothers and benefit from engaging with other children.
