Answer:

The issue of childcare centres has given rise to a great deal of emotion in the wake of concerns expressed by Gozo Bishop Mario Grech. Bishop Grech is reported to have said: “It is worrying that in this day, parents – especially mothers – want more childcare centres to leave their newborn children there as soon as their maternity leave is up” (December 16).

There is in general a high degree of consensus among research workers who have examined the issue concerning the effects of childcare centres on young children, including those under three years of age.

My study of the research done in the field of working mothers, and my experience of working locally and abroad for a significant number of years, lead me to believe that motherhood need not be a 24-hour-a-day activity, that children’s development need not inevitably be impaired by the mother’s absence and that it is not so much the quantity as the quality of the mother’s interaction with the child that matters.

There are several factors that need to be assiduously considered, especially by mothers, before such a weighty decision is made. First, their motive for wanting to place their child at a childcare centre; second, the extent to which they experience role strain as a result of taking a dual responsibility of work and parenting; third, their partner’s attitude and willingness to participate in childcare (assuming a partner is present); fourth, the child’s temperament and present needs; fifth, the consistency and quality of the childcare centre.

It should be recognised that day-care centres are designed to offer an opportunity for positive advancement not only for the children but for the family as a whole. They should not be viewed in a negative light or seen by some as no more than an evil necessity.
