Choosing child care is one of the biggest decisions a family makes, and the option you pick shapes more than just your schedule—it shapes the kind of care your child receives day to day. In this article, we look at how different child care options can impact your child, with a focus on the “individualization” of each choice. We also take a few moments to address a common worry many parents have about peer socialization.
