While it is ultimately the parents’ choice whether or not they send their child to daycare or preschool early, some factors affect this decision. This includes: 1. Parents needing to get back to work 2. Not having a caregiver they can trust at home to watch after the child 3. A home that is not childproof and unsafe for unsupervised exploration 4. Not being able to provide stimulating activities that can encourage the child’s learning and development at home
