"Protective Factors that tend to reduce negative outcomes of day-care:

• High quality day-care that is consistent with one provider
• Sensitive parenting
[b]• Consistency between care providers/fewer multiple care arrangements i.e. day-care in conjunction with care from family members.[/b]
• Day-care provision starting over the age of 12 months"[/quote]

Will look at the article later when I'm not so tired, but it looks like from your notes that the main thing is consistency.  With the bolded item above, is this suggesting that the best situation is consistency in terms of not having daycare 3 days, grandma 2 days, and parents on the weekends as daytime caregivers?  Or is it saying that it would be better to have full-time daycare 5 days a week with parents being daytime caregivers on the weekends, rather than one parent working 3 days, caring for the child the other 2 days, and then both parents home on the weekends?

Interesting about the issue after the age of 12 months, too.  At what point does this end (i.e. it is thus bad for kids at age 3 to go to FT preschool)?  Seems a little confusing but really fascinating.[/quote]
