Childcare has changed dramatically in the past several decades due to the increased number of families with both parents working and due to the increase of single parent families. This has caused a marked increase in the number of children attending childcare in the last twenty-five years. Most parents today are faced with the decision of what type of childcare will best prepare their children for school. With increased emphasis on student achievement, parents and educators need to know what skills students should have to start school ready to learn and what type of childcare is best in preparing children to start school ready to learn. This descriptive and comparative study used a web-based survey that was sent to public school kindergarten teachers in the state of Missouri. The research questions investigated what early childhood setting kindergarten teachers perceive to be the most beneficial in preparing students for kindergarten in the area of enthusiasm towards learning, academic skills, and social skills. The six settings studied include in home care by parent, in home care by nanny, cared for by relatives, home daycare, daycare center, and preschool. An analysis of data was performed to compare the six settings in ratings of enthusiasm towards learning, academic skills and social skills. The research questions also investigated teachers' perceptions of a standard expectation of skills that constitute kindergarten readiness. Descriptive statistics were used to describe kindergarten teachers' perception of the most important skills children need in order to be ready to start kindergarten. Knowledge gained from this study will provide information to parents who want to know what type of care will better prepare children to enter school, both academically and socially. The study found that kindergarten teachers perceive preschool to be the most beneficial setting in preparing students for kindergarten in the area of enthusiasm towards learning, academic skills, and social skills. This study also found academic skills; social skills; recognizing and writing name; sits still, listens, and follows directions; motor skills; and taking care of personal needs are what kindergarten teachers perceive to be the most important skills students need in order to be ready to start kindergarten.
