Some parents enroll their children in nursery schools or childcare centers primarily to provide them with the opportunity to interact with other children. In addition to attending to children’s basic needs, these workers organize activities that stimulate the children’s physical, emotional, intellectual, and social growth. They help children to explore their interests, develop their talents and independence, build self-esteem, and learn how to get along with others.

Training requirements for most jobs are minimal. Job openings should be numerous because dissatisfaction with benefits, pay, and working conditions causes many to leave the industry. Nature of the Industry About this section Back to Top Obtaining affordable, quality child daycare, especially for children under age 5, is a major concern for many parents. Child daycare needs are met in many different ways. Care in a child’s home, care in an organized child daycare facility, or care in a provider’s home are all common arrangements for preschool-age children. Older children may receive child daycare services when they are not in school, generally through before- and after-school programs or private summer school programs. With the increasing number of women in the workforce, child daycare services has been one of the most talked about and fastest growing industries in the U.S. economy. This industry consists of establishments that provide paid care for infants, prekindergarten or preschool children, or older children in after-school programs.

Working Papers on Research Methodology Child care and early education programs can play a critical role in families’ lives by both supporting parents’ employment and fostering children’s development. But parents and policymakers alike face real challenges in achieving these two goals simultaneously. For low-income parents, who often work at jobs with low wages and irregular schedules, the difficulties of securing affordable, accessible, and reliable high-quality care can be formidable. For policymakers, a tension exists between investing in systems of high-quality child care and early education and providing low-cost care to as many families as possible. Child care research undertaken through the Next Generation project examines how various welfare and work programs — and the child care policies embedded within them — have influenced families’ child care decisions and experiences and the consequent effects on parents’ employment and children’s development. This research also draws insights from ethnographic analyses using data from in-depth, longitudinal interviews.

Terms of Use Section 1 Affordability Section 2 Accessibility Section 3 Care for School-Age Children Section 4 Community Building Section 5 Family Child Care Section 6 Quality Section 7 Professional Development for Caregivers Section 8 Consumer Awareness Care for School-Age Children The Concept The nation's shortage of high-quality child care not only affects preschoolers, but it puts older children at risk as well. Once children begin kindergarten, parents' worries about their care do not end. In most families, parents' schedules and children's schedules do not mesh. This is more true than ever before, because today's parents are working longer hours. Many children leave empty houses in the morning and come home to empty houses in the afternoon. Working mothers and fathers typically arrive home hours after their children finish school; moreover, parents must report to work on many days when schools are closed. The gap between parents' work schedules and students' school schedules can amount to 20 to 25 hours per week, and what children do with this time affects their achievement and social development. Research shows that after-school and summer programs can reinforce and enrich classroom experience, resulting in higher achievement and more positive attitudes toward school, especially if they are aligned with school curricula. They also provide recreational activities and chances to explore areas that tend to get short shrift during the regular school day, such as the arts. But for most children, the out-of-school hours represent a lost opportunity.
