Child Care – You are aware that the Government has started programmes for early childhood care and education. Some of these programme provide services of day me centres and preschools. Providing these services is important because a number of families lack the resources to fulfil all the needs of children. However, these services are able to help only a limited number of children. There is a need for increasing the number of such services.
Creche services are needed because the number of women who work outside the family setting is increasing. In such a situation the mother, who is outside the home for a major part of the day, has four options regarding the child:
i) She can leave the child with a hired help at home.
ii) She can take the child to her place of work.
iii) She can leave the child with another adult member of the family.
iv) She can leave the child with an older child at home
However, each of these options has its limitations. The first alternative is open only to those who are able to afford hired help. When the mother takes the child with her to her place of work,’ the child is left on her own while the mother works. She may play with other children there, if any, but her opportunity for interaction with caring adults is limited. The third alternative is possible only if other are other adult members in the family. However, among families of lower socio-economic groups, where these services are most required, there is rarely an adult who can stay at home to look after the children since all adults go out to earn. The fourth possibility of leaving the infant with an older child deprives the older child of education and is one of the reasons for the low literacy levels in our country. Besides this, the older child may no1 be able, to look after the younger one adequately. If child care facilities are provided in the primary schools, the older children will be able to leave their younger brothers and sisters in the child care centre for the duration for which they are h school. This would also benefit the young children since they would avail of the various services at the child care center.
