It is important that the caregiver is someone they trust and see as a partner working with them for the benefit of their child. When you choose a caregiver who recognizes the importance of families and sincerely likes and cares about your child, it will be easy for you to be open and honest about your expectations. You will be able to share information and discuss issues that are important to your child's care. For example, as a parent you will be able to tell your caregiver about your cultural practices and the kinds of experiences you want your child to have. If you have selected a caregiver with training and experience, you will learn from that person's knowledge of children and their development. Together, you can make decisions that will benefit both you and your child.

These findings, from the first Australian study of the effect of multiple child-care arrangements on young children, appear to overturn a popular belief that parents are forced into a patchwork of care due to a shortage of child-care places and the high cost of formal care. Instead, the study found that working parents were choosing a mixture of formal and informal child care because they believed it was better for their children. "We had expected parents to feel a bit helpless - to make do with what was available," said the leader of the research team, Associate Professor Jennifer Bowes of Macquarie University. "But rather than being pushed into these arrangements by external forces, parents felt it was good for children to be with a variety of children and adults, to have a day with grandma." Forty-five per cent of children in centre-based or family day care experienced two or more different placements each week. Most of the extra care tended to be informal, with grandparents or other relatives.

While a parent is a child’s primary caregiver, most parents are also in the labor force. More than 60 percent of all mothers with children six and younger need child care for at least part of the work week. Recent changes in welfare policy have resulted in more women in the work force increasing the demands for affordable child care. More than ever, early childhood educators play a pivotal role in shaping children’s social, emotional and cognitive development and in preparing them for school. Yet, the very low wages paid to the childcare workforce is preventing many qualified teachers from entering the field and driving others from their careers in pursuit of better pay. Wages for child care workers are among the lowest paid in the U.S. labor force. Research indicates that consistent care by an educated teacher is fundamental to quality early education and quality experiences lead to increased school readiness of our youngest children.
