“…In both studies mothers wanted to feel comfortable with their children's caregivers. It was not only that they wanted to employ somebody who would be warmly responsive to the infant (Cryer & Burchinal, 1997;Rassin et al, 1991), or that they wanted to avoid employing an individual who might try to supplant them, practically or emotionally, with the baby, but also that they wanted to feel a sense of adult acceptance and shared values.…”

“…Previous acquaintanceship or a personal reference was the most common first reason given by mothers for using non-registered care, while preference for a family member was commonplace and was by far the most frequently selected first reason given by mothers for their decision to use relative care.

Employment of women while their children are infants has increased in the UK in the last decade. This study of 57 employed mothers of infants less than seven months old examined their retrospective reports of planning child care and their contemporaneous feelings about the child care they were using, based on qualitative interviews. Issues addressed included mothers' reasons for returning to employment at that time, their theoretical preferences among a range of child care types and providers and the process of making actual choices, including the range and types of advice received and the involvement of fathers. Mothers were also encouraged to discuss their feelings about how child care was working out once the infant was settled. Continuing concerns expressed by mothers included the importance of open communication with caregivers, their desire to keep control over infants' daily lives and upbringing, worries about infants' safety and concerns about the levels of cognitive stimulation they received.

“…Parental reports of high levels of satisfaction are normative even though their care arrangements vary widely (Bogat & Gensheimer, 1986;Rassin et al, 1991). Parental satisfaction with care is likely to be especially high when parent involvement is encouraged and the care provider listens to the parent (Barnes, et al, 2006; Britner & Phillips, 1995).…”

The project is funded by the Tedworth Charitable Trust and the Glass-House Trust. AbstractThe quality of care offered in four different types of non-parental child care to 307 infants at ten months and 331 infants at eighteen months old was compared and factors associated with higher quality were identified. Observed quality was lowest in nurseries at each age point, except that at eighteen months they offered more learning activities. There were few differences in the observed quality of care by child minders, grandparents and nannies, although grandparents had somewhat lower safety and health scores and offered children fewer activities. Cost was largely unrelated to quality of care except in child minding where higher cost was associated with higher quality. Observed ratios of children to adults had a significant impact on quality of nursery care; the more infants or toddlers each adult had to care for the lower the quality of the care she gave them. Mothers' overall satisfaction with their child's care was positively associated with its quality for home-based care but not for nursery settings.

Whatever the aims and parameters of studies of child care, quality is almost certain to be a factor in the findings.Quality of child care has an impact on man...

“…Therefore, it is vital that preschool teachers be provided with first-aid knowledge and practical training [ 9 ], and teaching basic first aid should be compulsory in schools [ 10 ]. First aid training for regulated daycare providers may contribute to children’s health and safety in the daycare setting [ 11 ]. In 2005, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) brought its national pediatric first aid course, pediatric first aid training for caregivers and teachers (PedFACTs).…”

BackgroundUnintentional injuries are a major cause of death among children. Data suggest that the retention of knowledge and skills about first aid declined over time. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of pediatric first aid training among teachers.MethodsA stratified random sampling method was used to select 1,067 teachers. The selected trainees received pediatric first aid training. Follow-up assessments were conducted 6 months, 9 months and 4 years following the training. A standardized collection of demographics was performed, and participants were given a questionnaire to indicate knowledge of and emotions about first aid.ResultsIn the pretest, 1067 people responded with a mean of 21.0 correct answers to 37 questions, whereas in the post-test period, the mean score increased to 32.2 correct answers of 37 questions (P <0.001). There was a decrease in scores from post-test to 6 months, 9 months and 4 years after the training. However, the mean at the 6-month, 9-month and 4-year marks were higher than the pretest mean (P < 0.001). A total of 82.8% of the participants achieved a pass mark of 80% or above; 42.8% of participants achieved the pass mark at 6 months, 41.7% at 9 months and 11.7% at 4 years (compared with pre-test, P < 0.001). The mean score of the subjects’ emotions in the post-test period increased to 81 (P < 0.001). The mean scores of emotions at 9 months or 4 years were higher than the pretest mean (P < 0.001). At the 4-year mark, the majority of preschool staff (>70%) had administered correct first aid for injuries.ConclusionsThis study demonstrated that the acquisition of knowledge, both short and long term, significantly improves. Despite appreciable decreases in knowledge long term, knowledge retention was modest but stable.
