Fathers and child care: an exploratory study of fathers with children in day care∗

Fathers' participation in day care

“…Most of this literature is limited to general father participation in the home and does not consider the growing use of child care when parents are employed. In addition, many of the studies of fathers' roles in day care are limited by small sample sizes and reliance on personal experience (Atkinson, 1987;Brannen & Moss, 1987;Clay, 1982;McBride, 1989;Pence & Early, 1988;Robinson, 1988).…”
