The best advice based on the evidence available would be to seek the highest quality alternative care she can find. Research suggests that the quality of the care environment and the caregiver-child interaction are more important factors than simply whether the child is in day care or at home. High-quality day care has been linked with positive outcomes for children, including cognitive, language, and social development. Therefore, it is important for Susan to carefully research and choose a high-quality day care center.
