The placement of children in society and their parents’ abilities to raise them are not the only contributors to underperforming children and the widening inequality gap between children of different social classes. The environment and the quality of care given to children also play an important role in the success of children. It is important for children, especially in early years (ages 1-5) to be “in an environment with plenty of responsive, warm, serve-and-return interactions with caring adults” (Tough 43). Research has shown that the more attention and support a child receives, the greater chance a child has at becoming successful (Collie and Martin). Because not all parents have the same access to childcare knowledge or the ability to spend time with their children, institutions must be set in place that provide universal, quality childcare. “Economists who have studied child care agree that the private market does not work as well for child care as for other industries” because of lack of information to parents, convenience, and cost of childcare, so the government must provide early child support to combat these issues (Vandell and Wolfe 6). Not only will this help children from poorer families to escape poverty by providing care that is often lacking at home, but it will also present improved and equal childcare for all children with professional supervision and focused child care resources.
