This paper discuss principles for the design of a tool to screen 3- and 5-year-old children’s social situation of development in Greenland. We describe this tool as radical-local, building it on a theory of child development that focuses on children´s activities as cultural, anchored in local conditions and traditions, where play is seen as the core activity for preschool children. In constructing Investigating children’s situation of development (Undersøgelse af børns udviklingssituation — UBUS 3 and UBUS 5) we have aimed at creating an instrument that can be used to evaluate children’s health, wellbeing and activities in their everyday settings of day-care and at home in Greenland. The assessment focus on interaction with care-persons and other children, not on children’s abilities as isolated and independent features. For preschool children these conditions and their participation in these conditions create the child’s social situation of development.

I was very stimulated by Eisenberg's article "Social Context of Child Development" (Pediatrics 68:705, 1981) and am sure my letter joins a huge response. But I am curious specifically about two excellent suggestions in the second to last paragraph: "Day care centers and nurseries can and should be situated adjacent to intermediate and secondary schools. Adolescents can not only provide irreplaceable person power but can gain direct experience in parenting as they contribute to the development of the young."

A day care is a childcare center where care is provided by adults who are not their parents. Day care workers should have adequate knowledge regarding the care of young children. The study aimed to assess the knowledge and practice regarding care of young children in day care centers. Quantitative descriptive research approach was adopted for the study with one group pre-test post-test pre-experimental research design. The study included 30 day care workers working in a day care centre of New Delhi, using purposive sampling. Structured knowledge questionnaire and observation checklists were used for data collection and data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results showed that before administration of basic training programmes, 18 (60%) of day care workers had average knowledge scores, 9 (30%) had good knowledge scores and 3 (10%) of day care workers had poor knowledge regarding care of young children. After the administration of the basic training programme, 30 (100%) were having good knowledge. It can be concluded that participants ranked highest (I) in knowledge score of Prevention of infections knowledge’ followed by rank II of ‘Growth and development of child’, rank III of ‘Nutrition for a child’, rank IV ‘Personal hygiene’, rank V of ‘Safety and security’ followed by rank VI - ‘Qualities of personnel in day care center’. In terms of practice before administration of basic training programme 23 (77%) of study subjects had average practice scores, 4 (13%) had good practice scores and 3 (10%) of day care workers had poor practice scores regarding care of young children. After the administration of the basic training programme, 27(90%) were having good practice and 3 (10%) were having average practice. There was no significant association found between the knowledge and practice score with demographic variables of day care workers.

This article describes the Urban Basic Services Programme that UNICEF’s Guatemala Office developed in Guatemala City between 1984 and 1993. Working initially with other NGOs and subsequently with government agencies, the programme developed a variety of community based, community directed initiatives for water, sanitation and drainage, housing improvement, health promotion, health care and child development in the illegal or informal settlements in which close to half of Guatemala City’s population live. The programme included an innovative network of health promoters elected from their own community and new models of community based day care.
