From the Canada.com website:NEW YORK - Child care centres are often as good for the parents as for the youngsters when it comes to making friends and building a support network, according to a U.S. study.
Researchers from the University of Chicago found that many child care centers have an overlooked function -- connecting parents with each other as informal advisers in child rearing, and with agencies that help with the challenges of parenting.
"Parents come to school to find someone to care for their children, and they end up learning ways of taking care of each other," said researcher Mario Small, professor in sociology, in a statement.
