In the world of day-care research, the status of our knowledge is sufficiently shaky that we must continue to keep an open mind about the service. The knowledge base is growing rapidly, but the conceptual structure that supports it is flimsy and insubstantial. Fortunately, current research efforts are improving this situation. Regardless of whether we like or dislike day care, it is, like the family, here to stay. That realization alone should strengthen our resolve not to compromise on the type of service we create. We have to continue to identify parameters of quality and become good matchmakers in terms of child care, family, and child characteristics. Through such efforts, a network of educare programs that will foster favorable development in children can become a national and global reality.
在日托研究领域，我们的知识现状还很不稳定，以至于我们必须继续对这项服务持开放态度。知识库正在迅速增长，但支撑它的概念结构却薄弱且不稳固。幸运的是，目前的研究工作正在改善这种状况。无论我们喜欢还是不喜欢日托，它都和家庭一样，会持续存在。仅这一认识就应该增强我们的决心，即在我们所创建的服务类型上不妥协。我们必须继续确定质量参数，并在儿童保育、家庭和儿童特征方面成为优秀的匹配者。通过这些努力，一个能够促进儿童良好发展的教育保育项目网络可以成为国家乃至全球的现实。
