4. INTRODUCTION
CHILD CARE, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS DAY CARE, IS THE CARE AND SUPERVISION OF A CHILD
OR MULTIPLE CHILDREN AT A TIME WHOSE AGES RANGES FROM TWO WEEKS TO EIGHTEEN
YEARS.
❏ CHILD CARE CAN BE DONE FAMILY BASED OR WITH THE HELP OF PAID CARETAKERS,
NANNIES OR ENROLLMENT IN DAY CARE CENTRES.
❏ MAJORITY OF CHILD CARE INSTITUTIONS AVAILABLE REQUIRE CHILD CARE PROVIDERS
TO HAVE EXTENSIVE TRAINING IN FIRST AID AND BE CPR CERTIFIED.
❏ IN MANY CASES THE APPROPRIATE CHILD CARE PROVIDER IS A TEACHER OR A PERSON
WITH EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND IN CHILD DEVELOPMENT, WHICH REQUIRES A MORE
FOCUSED TRAINING ASIDE FROM THE COMMON CORE SKILLS TYPICAL OF A CHILD
CAREGIVER.
INDIA
❏ INDIA HAS A SYSTEM OF UNIVERSAL CHILD CARE
WHICH IS FREE AND PROVIDED BY THE STATE
THROUGH THE INTEGRATED CHILD DEVELOPMENT
SERVICES.
❏ PROVISION OF FOOD, PRESCHOOL EDUCATION,
PRIMARY HEALTH CARE, IMMUNIZATION,
CONTRACEPTIVE COUNSELLING, HEALTH CHECK-UP
AND REFERRAL SERVICES TO CHILDREN UNDER 6
YEARS AND THEIR MOTHERS.
❏ DURING 2018-19 FISCAL YEAR, FREE CHILD CARE COST
THE STATE US $4.0 BILLION. PRIVATE CHILDREN
SERVICES ALSO EXIST FOR WEALTHIER FAMILIES.

5. UNITED KINGDOM

YEARS OF AGE: OF THESE CHILDREN 3 MAY BE UNDER 5 AND
OF THOSE 1 MAY BE UNDER 1.
UNITED STATES
❏ VARY IN THE TEACHER TO CHILD RATIOS IN EACH STATE.
❏ IN SOME STATES, TEACHERS MUST HAVE AN ASSOCIATE
DEGREE IN CHILD DEVELOPMENT.
❏ IN MASSACHUSETTS, THE AVERAGE ANNUAL COST OF FULL-
TIME CARE FOR AN INFANT IN CENTRE-BASED CARE, WAS
US $20,880 BY AUGUST 2020.
❏ IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NEW YORK, FOR INFANTS CHILD
CARE CENTRES CHARGEd US $1,100-$2,714 A MONTH IN 2019,
FOR SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN: $300-$1,465.
JAPAN
❏ LICENSED CHILDCARE IN JAPAN FALLS UNDER THE
JURISDICTION OF MINISTRY OF HEALTH, LABOUR AND
WELFARE, BUT EACH LICENSED DAYCARE FACILITIES ARE RUN
BY PRIVATE OR PUBLIC ORGANIZATIONS.
❏ CHILDCARE IS FREE OR RELATIVELY AFFORDABLE AS THE
NATIONAL GOVERNMENT PROVIDE SUBSIDIES AND A
FRAMEWORK FOR WORKING FAMILIES.

6. HISTORY
DAY CARE CENTRE, ALSO CALLED NURSERY SCHOOL OR CRECHE, INSTITUTION THAT
PROVIDES SUPERVISION AND CARE OF INFANTS AND YOUNG CHILDREN DURING DAY TIME
PARTICULARLY, SO THAT THEIR PARENTS AND HOLD JOBS.
❏ SUCH INSTITUTIONS APPEARED IN FRANCE
ABOUT 1840 AND THE SOCIETE DES CRECHES
WAS RECOGNIZED BY THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT
IN 1869.
❏ MOST OF THE DAY CARE CENTRES IN EUROPE
WAS BUILT DURING THE SECOND HALF OF THE
19TH CENTURY.
❏ FOR EXAMPLE IN GREAT BRITAIN, THE FIRST
WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1860.
❏ THESE SERVICES HAVE LONGER HISTORY IN
EUROPE AND ASIA THAN UNITED STATES.
❏ IN MANY
COUNTRIES,
DAYCARE
FACILITIES ARE
ASSOCIATED
WITH MOTHER’S
PLACE OF WORK.

7. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

21. NATURAL LIGHTING
↪ IT SHOULD BE THE PRIMARY MEANS OF LIGHTING
THE CLASSROOM SPACE.
↪ CLASSROOM SPACE SHOULD FACE SOUTH IF
POSSIBLE, SO THAT THE LIGHT IS AVAILABLE TO
THE CHILDREN DURING THE DAY.
↪ IT SHOULD BE ACCESS FROM AT LEAST TWO
DIRECTIONS.
LIGHTING PLAY CRUCIAL ROLE IN OUR DAY CARE SET-
UP AND CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE OVERALL WELL
BEING OF STAFF AND CHILDREN. LIGHTING:
↪ ENHANCES THE SAFETY OF THE CHILDREN.
↪ CREATE A WARM, INVITING AND WELCOMING
SPACE.
↪ ENCOURAGE MORE ACTIVE PARTICIPATION
↪ IMPROVE SLEEP
ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING
↪ IT MAKES UP A CONSIDERABLE PORTION OF THE
LIGHT IN MOST CHILDREN’S CENTERS.
↪ THE QUALITY OF LIGHT SHOULD REMIND CHILD
OF RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENT.
↪ IT HAS AN IMPORTANT IMPACT ON THE OVERALL
CHARACTER OF INTERIOR SPACE.
LIGHTING

22. VENTILATIONS
❏ PROVIDES GOOD ENVIRONMENT
❏ HELPS TO KEEP AREA FREE FROM ANY HARMFUL
BACTERIA
❏ CONTROLS THE ODOUR AND HUMIDITY
❏ HELPS IN AIR REGULATION, STOP CONDENSATION,
REDUCE TEMPERATURES

23. SOUND INSULATION

9.PLASTIC LAMINATE- PLASTIC LAMINATE IS MADE OF MELAMINE IMPREGNATED VENEER
OR PAPER THAT CREATES A SMOOTH, NONPOROUS SURFACE
10.ACRYLIC - ACRYLIC IS TRANSPARENT OR TRANSLUCENT PLASTIC, ALSO KNOWN AS
PLEXIGLAS OR LUCITE
11.FOAM PLASTIC- POLYURETHANE FOAM IS AVAILABLE AS PLASTIC OR VINYL-COVERED
FOAM MATS AND CUSHIONS FOR CHILD CARE USE.

25. BUILDING BYE LAWS
THE RULES AND REGULATION FRAMED BY TOWN PLANNING AUTHORITIES
COVERING THE REQUIREMENTS OF BUILDING, ENSURING SAFETY OF THE
PUBLIC THROUGH OPEN SPACES, MINIMUM SIZE OF ROOMS AND HEIGHT AND
AREA LIMITATION, ARE KNOWN AS BUILDING BYE-LAWS.

PROVISIONS, TOILETS, AND OTHER PUBLIC ACCOMMODATIONS
EVERY CENTER MUST TAKE ALL APPROPRIATE PRECAUTIONS TO ENSURE THE SAFETY
AND WELL-BEING OF THE CHILDREN AND THE STAFF. THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME OF
THE SAFETY CONSIDERATION OF CONCERN:

30. POSITIVE ASPECTS
❏ PROMOTES PROSOCIAL BEHAVIOR
❖ CONSISTENT SOCIALIZATION AND PLAY IN EARLY CHILDHOOD HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED
WITH HIGHER LEVELS OF EMPATHY, RESILIENCE, AND PROSOCIAL BEHAVIOR.
❏ SUPPORTS SCHOOL READINESS
❖ A STRUCTURED DAY WITH ACTIVITIES SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED ENGAGE THE SENSES AND
STIMULATE COGNITIVE GROWTH.
❏ INCREASES ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT
❖ THE EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION PROGRAMS LAYS THE FOUNDATION FOR LATER YEARS
OF SCHOOLING.
❏ FOSTERS COMMUNICATION
❖ IT PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHILD TO INTERACT WITH OTHERS TO DEVELOP
COMMUNICATION SKILLS.
NEGATIVE ASPECTS
❏ A LOW QUALITY DAYCARE MAY HAVE INSUFFICIENT RESOURCES THAT FAILS TO
MEET EACH CHILD’S SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL, AND COGNITIVE NEEDS WHICH CAN BE
DETRIMENTAL TO THEIR DEVELOPMENT.
❏ ON THE CONTRARY, WHEN GIVEN ACCESS TO A QUALITY ENVIRONMENT WITH
CONSISTENT, SAFE, AND SUPPORTIVE PRACTICES THAT MEET EVERY CHILD’S NEEDS,
THEY WILL THRIVE.

31. CONCLUSION
❏ ONE OF THE BIGGEST DECISIONS PARENTS HAVE TO MAKE AFTER CHOOSING TO
HAVE A CHILD IS DECIDING WHO WILL CARE FOR THE CHILD. PARENTS CHOOSE TO
RESOLVE THIS DILEMMA IN MANY WAYS.
❏ AS PART OF THE PROCESS OF DETERMINING HOW CARE WILL BE PROVIDED THEY
MUST LOOK AT FINANCIAL, CAREER, EMOTIONAL AND DEVELOPMENT
CONSIDERATIONS.
❏ THEY MUST DETERMINE WHICH OF THE FOUR TYPES OF CHILDCARE IS MOST
APPROPRIATE FOR THEIR FAMILY NEEDS AND THEN MUST EXAMINE THE LICENSING
STANDARDS IN THEIR STATE AND WHETHER A PARTICULAR CAREGIVER MEETS
THOSE REQUIREMENTS.
❏ THEY MUST RESEARCH, LOCATE AND SELECT A CHILDCARE FACILITY AND THEN
FINALLY TRANSITION BOTH THEIR CHILD AND THEMSELVES INTO THAT CARE
SETTING.

COMBINATION OF
SMALLER ELEMENTS.
