Day care for children between the ages of three and five is now an accepted fact. Day care for infants and toddlers under age three, however, is still controversial, although several European countries have had success with infant day care for decades.
E. Belle Evans, one of the authors of the well-known guide ‘Day Care’ (for three-to-five-year-olds), teamed with her husband, George E. Saia, to make a solid case for infant day care, and to provide a comprehensive, practical guide to starting and operating an infant center. Ms. Evans writes from experience both as director of a large day-care center with infant classrooms and as the mother of an infant son in day care.
The authors contend that recent studies and the European experience show ‘no significant developmental differences between infants in day care and those reared exclusively in the home.’ In fact, infants in a quality day-care program have several advantages: they are challenged intellectually by stimulating games, stories, and language opportunities; they learn to socialize with many adults and their own peers; and they may very well benefit from not having such an intense one-to-one child-mother relationship.
The bulk of the book is an informative, detailed guide to starting and operating a quality infant day-care center. The authors cover every aspect, including a summary of the rules and regulations for licensing infant centers; suggestions on writing funding proposals and making budgets, selecting and developing a site, and designing a curriculum for a program that encourages optimal physical, emotional, intellectual, and social development in young children.
Published in 1972 by the Beacon Press, Boston, DAYCARE FOR INFANTS, The Case for Infant Day Care and a Practical Guide is a 216-page hardbound book. It is in Very Good condition, although ex lib with the usual library markings. There are no apparent defects on the book or on the mylar-covered dust jacket. (6003)
