I've learned the benefits and pitfalls of young preschool education. This type of child care benefits children's cognition and varying studies show that infant care is positive mostly. Since infancy is very important time for cognitive, social and attachment development, caretakers are important as well. Non-maternal yields aggressive children. Toddlers need to interact with each other, to learn from each other. Evidence of a Canadian study showed male children under the care of non-maternal care, such as relatives, displayed more assertive, aggressive and emotional problems (p. 201). On the other hand, lower socioeconomic male children were better off with non-maternal care (p. 201). So research was inconclusive.
Child attention But the studies stress working mothers are able to still spend much time with their infants as much as the non-working, individual. So infant daycare has no significant conclusions that it's negative on the infant or not. Much of the evidence is dependent off of infant sex, temperment, family income (affects choice of care), and education.
