What constitutes a high-quality child-care program for infants?

What will be an ideal response?


In high-quality child care, caregivers encourage the children to be actively engaged in a variety of activities; have frequent, positive interactions that include smiling, touching, holding, and speaking at the child's eye level; respond properly to the child's questions or requests; and encourage children to talk about their experiences, feelings, and ideas.
High-quality child care also involves providing children with a safe environment, access to age-appropriate toys and participation in age-appropriate activities, and a low caregiver-to-child ratio that allows caregivers to spend considerable time with children on an individual basis.
