Out-of-home day-care benefits children's IQ, behavior, and school success. It also improves mothers' education and employment, with long-term positive effects on children's adult life outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Child Development
  • Social Policy
  • Early Childhood Education

Background:

  • The provision of out-of-home day-care for young children is a significant social policy and media concern.
  • Mothers provide most childcare, with international day-care provision varying due to cultural and economic factors.
  • The day-care debate is prominent amid concerns about declining family values.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify the effects of out-of-home day-care on preschool children's educational, health, and welfare outcomes.
  • To assess the impact on families, particularly mothers' participation in paid work.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of day-care for children under 5.
  • Searches included electronic databases, literature reviews, and author contact.

  • Eight RCTs were identified and assessed for methodological quality.

    • Main Results:

    • Day-care positively impacts children's IQ, behavior, and school achievement.
    • Long-term benefits include increased employment, reduced teenage pregnancy, higher socioeconomic status, and decreased criminal behavior.
    • Mothers show improved education, employment, and child interaction; fathers' effects were not examined.

    Conclusions:

    • Out-of-home day-care demonstrates beneficial effects on child development, academic success, and adult life trajectories.
    • Current evidence is primarily from US-based trials on disadvantaged populations.
    • Generalizability to other cultures and socioeconomic groups requires further evaluation.
