Child care environments have received extensive research attention by those interested in understanding how participating in nonparental child care might influence the childrens 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 childrens 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.

Child care researchers have been conducting studies to understand how participating in nonparental child care might influence the childrens 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 childrens 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.
