A Study on the Change of Maternal Love in the Change of Childbirth and Child Care Environment

This article explores the motivations for unregulated child care use within Canada. Using focus group data from 109 mothers, we analyze unregulated child care use within a policy context in which regulated child care is only available for 20% of preschool children. The key drivers for unregulated care were framed by participants as benefits: trust in a known caregiver with similar values, offered in a home-like environment. Importantly, one driver that was not seen as beneficial was the lack of affordable and accessible, regulated child care. Sometimes used as a last resort amid regulated child care shortages, unregulated care became the driver of how mothers organized their time. Within the constraints of a limited regulatory child care environment, we argue that Mathieu’s (2016) concept of demotherization is beyond the grasp of the majority of Canadian mothers.

Quality Child

Child care workers are committed to delivering a quality service to the children with whom they are working. As part of this commitment to quality, child care workers acknowledge the need to deliver an anti-bias curriculum. Gender is one of the areas incorporated in this anti-bias approach. However, we are only just beginning to understand how gender segregation operates in young children who attend child care. This paper examines some of the research about the development of gender segregated behaviours in young children and makes suggestions as to appropriate strategies for addressing these behaviours in the child care environment.
