Based on data from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Study of Early Child Care, a longitudinal study of approximately 1,300 children, the authors looked at associations between the amount, quality and stability of child care and mother-child interactions when the children were 6, 15, 24 and 36 months old. Families and their children were recruited from 10 research sites across the United States. Twenty-four percent of the recruited families were members of an ethnic minority. According to the findings, children who regularly spend time in nonmaternal care have "somewhat less positive" interactions with their mothers than children who spend less or no time in nonmaternal care.

With children requiring more care at infancy and in the months that follow than at any other time, parents mettle is truly tested with early morning or late night feedings, purchasing an endless supply of diapers, and frequent doctors visits. Conversely, children's first steps and first words offer parents overwhelming rewards for their efforts. Surrounding the practice of child rearing are countless resources that parents can utilize to help them in their quest to raise healthy, well-adjusted kids. Included herein are links to associations and organizations that relate specifically to babies and toddlers.

Child-care assistance is available to families who are not participating in the Family Independence Program as well as to those who are participating. Eligibility is based on family income and hours of parent activity (work or training and education.) For eligibility information, or an application for assistance, please call the DHS, through its Child Care Office, offers a broad range of child-care-related services, benefitting families, child-care providers, and employers. All of these services are designed with the ultimate goal of supporting working parents as they find and maintain employment and improve their economic well-being.
