Child care environments have received extensive research attention
by those interested in understanding how participating in
nonparental child care might influence the children's development
and learning. Throughout the United States (US Census Bureau, 2011)
and Europe (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development,
2006) a large number of young children are cared for outside of the
home by non-parental adults. Young children's nonparental care is
commonly referred to as ""child care," and is provided to children
whose ages range from birth to 12 years of age. The provision of
child care services has become an increasingly important part of
early childhood education. In fact, the United Nations Children's
Fund (2019) states that a large majority of children worldwide
spend at least some of their week in child care, such arrangements
include center care, family child care, in-home child care,
relative child care, and supplemental child care. Child care
researchers have been conducting studies to understand how
participating in nonparental child care might influence the
children's development and learning outcomes. There are more than
enough child care studies to make numerous major inferences. For
example, research outcomes show that child care quality seems to be
more influential than either the kind of child care or age of
admission in determining the children's development and learning.
The adults' child care affects the quality in child care. In the
environment adults who are caring for the children have the
opportunity to effectively assume both nurturing and instructional
roles to help young children cultivate their social and cognitive
abilities. The teachers' effectiveness is related to their
individual characteristics, such as formal education, specialized
training, and the classroom environment. However, the majority of
the studies show that both family and quality of child care have
the most significant effects on the children's development and
learning. Therefore, the concept of child care has heavily
influenced modern views. Researchers, scholars, and educators are
beginning to understand the current foundations based on
theoretical frameworks that contribute to the purposes of the child
care in the United States and Europe. The contents of the child
care volume reflect the major shifts in the views of these early
childhood researchers, scholars, and educators in relation to
research outcomes on child care, its historical roots, the role of
child care in early childhood education, and its relationship to
theory, research, and practice.
