Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Middle-income families may not be eligible for government subsidies for child care, but also may not be able to afford high-quality, expensive options. As a result, they may turn to for-profit child-care settings, which tend to have lower quality care than nonprofit or high-end options. This is due to factors such as understaffing, high caregiver turnover, and lower levels of training and education for staff. Therefore, C) for-profit is the best choice.
