  12. Summary • There are many theories of child development and many studies that attempt to analyze and understand those children who are involved in childcare. The cognitive, emotional, physical, social and educational growth that children go through from birth and into childhood can be strongly influenced by childcare. Understanding the appropriate ways of communicating with children at differing ages as well as having appropriate expectations of children at differing ages are key to positive interaction. Additionally, in researching the childcare population, I have found that there is a large concern around the quality of childcare. Quality seems to have both negative and positive effects on overall child development. These effects can be seen socially, psychologically, and behaviorally. The childcare population is affected not only by their association with childcare centers, but also by many other elements that affect overall child development, such as those elements children who are not involved in childcare encounter.
