The BSITD proposed activities for this age group involve stacking blocks, drawing simple shapes, shape sorter, build three-dimensional figures with blocks, and cut paper.31 Children attending day care for a longer period of time had higher scores in these activities. Children stay in day care is still quite controversial in the literature. A study11 indicates that a more extended time in day care is harmful to children's development, particularly among children attending early care. However, Votruba-Drzaletal34 report that it is harmful only when there is low quality of care. The relationship found in the present study shows that although such tasks may have been stimulated at home, the extended time in day care favored the acquisition of several important skills for fine motor development and school learning.
