Family Day Care - International Perspectives on Policy, Practice and Quality (Paperback)

In this volume international contributors examine the policy and organization of day care, showing how childminding networks have developed in differing economic and social climates. There are discussions on: levels of government intervention; setting quality standards; training and support for child-care providers; creating partnership between parents and carers; how economic changes can affect child care provision; and conflicts between caregivers' and families' values.
