20 clock hours – El cuidado de los niños pequeños fuera de su propio hogar es un servicio fundamental para nuestra sociedad. El cuidado infantil de calidad es extremadamente importante. Investigaciones recientes encontraron que los niños que asisten a programas de cuidado infantil de alta calidad tienen un desarrollo positivo, mientras que los niños que asisten a programas de mala calidad resultan con efectos negativos. La necesidad de profesionales de cuidado infantil que puedan brindar atención de calidad y estimular el aprendizaje temprano aumenta a medida que más y más padres trabajan fuera del hogar. cecpdonline.org
