Description

This study clarified a relationship between the type of nursery care (day vs. night) and child development/adaptation to nursery. The subjects were children and caregivers who used child day care or child night care in nursery. Caregivers asked to fill the questionnaire on raring environment, self-efficacy and support for child raring. Child care professionals asked to evaluate development and adaptation to nursery for each child. 1,949 caregivers and 2,905 children were analyzed by discriminant analysis. The results were as follows ; 1) Motor development was significantly related to health status, not slapping, and support for child raring. 2) Intelligence development was significantly related to sing songs together, and length of playing with child. 3) Language development was significantly related to self-efficacy for child raring. 4) Social development was significantly related to self-efficacy for child raring, and sing songs together. 5) Adaptation to nursery was significantly related to support for child raring, and sing songs together. These results indicated that not the type of nursery care (day or night), but the child raring environment, caregiver's self-efficacy and support for child raring were strongly related to child development and adaptation to nursery. Further research must be done to promote evidence-based services for more effective and high quality child night care.
