delivered by the City of Cabuyao daycare services are highly evident. About 70% of parents place their
young children in some type of daily care. Whether you choose in-home or center-based care, a
preschool, or someone else's home for your child's daily care setting, you should follow some specific
guidelines to ensure receiving quality, professional care (Blau, David M., 2001).The latest longitudinal
NICHD study spent millions of dollars to effectively implement and measure “quantity, quality, and type
of care while examining these factors separately, additively, and interactively”. Repeated measurements
of the quality of the child's family environment and the quality of the non-maternal care were made at
6,15,24,36 and 54 months of age. The child's socio-emotional and cognitive-linguistic development was
measured during laboratory visits at 15, 24, 36, and 54 months, as well as by teacher and parent reports
in kindergarten. Basic demographic information was obtained to measure the quality of the child's
family rearing environment, socio-economic status, family functioning and maternal well-being. The
quality of the mothering was gathered by observational and maternal reporting. Various established
instruments were administered to assess each child's cognitive and linguistic development, social
competence, and behavior problems (Blesky, 2006).
