Research has consistently shown that when caregiver-child ratios are generous and caregivers are educated about child development, children develop more favorably. They are more likely to have positive relationships with their caregivers, develop better social skills, and have better cognitive outcomes. This is why high-quality child care is recommended for working parents who need to place their children in child care settings. Option B is not entirely true as research has shown that children in child care settings may have higher rates of insecurity, but the difference is not significant. Option C is not entirely true because research has shown that the quality of child care and the amount of time spent in child care does impact mother-child interaction. Option D is not entirely true because informal care settings such as babysitters or relatives may not provide the same educational experiences and support as high-quality child care settings.
