This study used data from the Survey on Early Learning and Child Care Arrangements (SELCCA) and the Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB) to examine patterns of child care use among Canadian immigrant and nonimmigrant families. Overall, children from immigrant backgrounds were less likely to be in child care. When considering only those in child care, children from immigrant families were more likely to be in licensed care than those from nonimmigrant families. Parents of children with immigrant backgrounds indicated various reasons for not enrolling their child in child care. Ensuring access to child care may have a positive impact on immigrant families.

Curriculum Framework

The shift toward a pedagogical foundation for professional practice in early childhood along with the introduction of curriculum frameworks in early learning and child care, calls for approaches to professional learning that move beyond transmission modes of learning towards engaged, localized, participatory models that encourage critical reflection and investigation of pedagogy within specific settings. In this paper, we describe ongoing participatory research that explores educator co-inquiry as an approach to animating a curriculum framework. A story of curriculum meaning making that opened a hopeful space for critical pedagogical reflection and changed practice serves as a basis for deeper reflection.

Objective: Children in early learning settings are vulnerable to site-specific emergencies because of physical and developmental limitations. We examined parents’ knowledge of disaster plans in their child’s early learning settings.Methods: In May 2015, we conducted a nationally representative online household survey, including parents of children ages 0-5 years in child care settings. Parents were asked about their center’s disaster plans and key components: evacuation, special needs children, and disaster supplies. Bivariate analyses and logistic regression were conducted to identify factors associated with parental awareness of disaster plans.Results: Overall, 1,413 of 2,550 parents responded (rate = 55 percent). Sample included 1,119 parents of children 0-5 years old, with 24 percent (n = 264) requiring child care. Parents’ reported knowledge of five types of disaster plans: evacuation (66 percent), power outage (63 percent), severe weather (62 percent), lock-down (57 percent), and delayed parent pick-up (57 percent). Only 21 percent reported if plans included all four key components of evacuation (child identification, parent identification, rapid communication, and extra car seats). One-third (36 percent) reported plans accommodating special needs children. Parents’ knowledge of disaster supplies varied: generator (31 percent), radio (42 percent), water (57 percent), food (60 percent), and first aid (82 percent). Parents attending any disaster training events (34 percent) were more likely to be aware of all five types of disaster plans compared with parents who had not attended.Conclusions: Many parents were unaware of disaster plans at their children’s early learning settings. Although few parents attended training events, such participation was associated with higher levels of parental awareness.

ABSTRACT Objective: to apprehend the paternal experiences related to the care provided to the preterm child at home by comparing the parents participating or not in the care protocol. Method: a qualitative research, conducted from July to October 2017, with 24 parents of preterm infants after discharge from a teaching hospital in the state of Paraná, Brazil, who participated or not in a care protocol during the period of hospitalization. The analysis was performed through the Collective Subject Discourse. Results: the parents who had the opportunity to participate in the protocol at the hospital reported that this care was important so that they could help their partners with their children at home. However, the parents participating or not in the protocol realize that the mother has a greater bond because of the possibility of greater time availability and because they are the nursing mothers and refer to work as a barrier to child care. Conclusion: the parents participating in the protocol report that it had a positive impact on their child care at home, in contrast, non-participating parents reported that having been included or not in the protocol did not interfere with their conduct at home. However, both groups agree that cultural factors and work are barriers to child care.

Child Care Service

The introduction of the Children (Northern Ireland) Order marks the province's first major change in child care legislation for almost 30 years. Greg Kelly and Joan Coulter broadly welcome the Order and the positive impact it will have on a child care service too long dominated by child protection issues. They focus in particular on the influence it will have on fostering and adoption services, already affected by widespread organisational changes, and the difficulties these face in trying to develop greater partnership with parents while at the same time always working in the best interests of the child.
