For children to receive the best care and attention, it is best for them to stay at home with their parents, as this has more influence on their development. However, to survive, parents must re-enter the job market, which then leaves them with the choice of choosing the best care. That said, most parents are left with the only option of sending their child to daycare. Since parents have this option, the most important factor they need to consider is the quality of the daycare and not the price or convenience.

These play sessions were video recorded through a two-way mirror and then analyzed using scales designed to measure social behaviors. Once all the data was collected and analyzed, researchers were able to conclude that boys who had just started daycare exhibited aggressive behavior due to overstimulation and that daycare decreased the child's social behaviors while at home , they increased them.
