The purposes of this study of day care services in an |
|
Appalachian region were: (1) to examine the families |
|
involved in day care so that their criteria used in |
|
selecting day care services could be identified, (2) to |
|
investigate the attitudes of the families with regard to |
|
the day care services available, (3) to determine the |
|
relation of day care services to selected variables |
|
involving the family unit, and (4) to survey the existing |
|
community resources providing day care for school age |
|
children (ages 5-12). The first three objectives were |
|
emphasized in the first of the research. Subjects for |
|
this phase were the families of 247 children (ages 1-6) |
|
who were receiving services from two day care centers in |
|
Cookeville, Tennessee. Instruments were developed and |
|
field tested to measure family attitudes. The fourth |
|
objective was stressed in the second phase of the study. |
|
Subjects were the directors of before-and after-school |
|
day care homes and programs, and the services that they |
|
provided. Data revealed that these programs had adequate |
|
physical facilities but were lacking in educational |
|
equipment. There were not enough of these day care |
|
programs to meet the needs of the community. (DP) |
