Clark-Steward found that children aged 2-4 who attended day care had better intellectual development. He also found that day care was beneficial to children's attainment as long as they we not left in care for longer than 6 hours.
Andersson investigated the long-term effects of day care on cognitive and social development. The procedure was a longitudinal study using a sample of 100 children from different social classes and 1 and 2 parent families. The children were assessed at the ages of 8 and 13 their teaches rated the cognitive and social ability and IQ scores were taken.

Day Care
I thought this was a very interesting essay, in that it didn't conform to my preconceived ideas about the benefits of childcare vs home care.

Overall though - an interesting paper.
