From the Paper:

"Social Work: Assessing Theoretical Outcomes of the Use of Childcare Services Introduction Childcare and daycare services are controversial in that they serve a function that is arguably better served within the home and by the parental caregivers of the child. This controversy comes from the degree of influence that caregivers have over the developing child; childcare services might protect the child from physical threats, but a significant aspect of the younger child's development comes from learning and subsequent psychological and character development, and it is not recognized whether childcare is fully capable to fulfill these other developmental needs. This paper assesses the theoretical outcomes of the use of childcare, and does so through addressing the arguments and relevant research in the areas of childcare theory, cognitive development, and morality issues."
