Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research suggests that family day care can provide more personal attention and nurturing care for infants compared to larger day-care centers. Family day-care providers often have smaller groups of children and can offer a more stable and consistent caregiving environment, which is beneficial for infants' development. Additionally, family day-care providers often have more flexible and responsive approaches to caregiving, which can benefit infants' emotional and social development. There is no evidence to suggest that infants in family day care are more likely to be abused, or that their caregivers are poorly educated, so options B and D can be ruled out. Option C may or may not be a factor in why Efia chose family day care.
