The Pros And Cons Of Childcare
Today’s young families are working harder and longer due to their dire need of affordable and accessible daycare. The extensive amounts of immigrants, young and Aboriginal families are in need of childcare in order to enable the parents to get appropriate education/training to approach good jobs. Approximately 70% of mothers with children fewer that age five are working, yet Canada lacks a national childcare system. This prevents the parents from working with a suffering years-long waiting list and splitting the family's budget. Three-quarters of families cannot afford licensed daycare, as it is the second highest expense after housing and the cost of it being from $40 to $60 a day. In big cities such as Toronto, the prices

    Dsw Case Study In Child Care

    Using the term ‘Us’ to refer to those working in roles that fall under categories described as DSW or ECE. This piece is a ‘what if’ idea. If the governing political mind chooses to involve themselves in the upbringing of children by regulating pre-school care centres, then the legal guardians responsible for those under 6 years age will need to understand the reasons for loss of choice, if they were able to choose from local centres, most privately run. Business first. Likely many busy parents pay “under the table” for child care. Ottawa needs dollars. ‘Us’ do to. Those individuals who are suffering fluctuations in business that provides child care will be screened and perhaps undergo some re-training. Those who adhere to the standard of service as defined by governing ministers and their advisers will become employees of the Canadian government, much as public and high school teachers are. Child care centres will use the same equipment (including toys) and methodology in applicable care. Due to increased revenues from fee administration and accountability, the cost to parents will be agreeable. The stability that will arise in the child care business will provide an environment where both ECE and subsequently child are likely to become tranquil and prepared for education.…

    1.1 1.1 Explain the Range of Early Years Settings Reflects the Scope and Purpose of the Sector.

    The childcare sector has changed a lot in the last 50 years, as society changes so does the sector, since women have stopped staying at home and have stopped being the primary care giver to the children more childcare settings have been needed, they have needed to make more provisions for the children of the working mothers and single parents. In the last 50 years the number of single mums has increased dramatically, making it harder for them to both look after their children and go to work, for this reason they have made more daycares available for these mothers. The government offer all 3-4 year olds free day care for up to 15 hours a week, this means mothers can then go and work leaving their child…

    The Pros And Cons Of Foster Care

    With the combination of the CAPTA and the 1980 legislation there was the thought that foster care was harmful to children which is by no means supported by research. In fact, foster care was much safer than leaving a child with their biological family in which abuse has occurred. Many families were not offered extensive services to help the child and/or the family. This act was responsible for state services and created financial incentives which encouraged legislators to promote stable child welfare services for children. “This resulted in larger prevention efforts, expanded program eligibility standards, support for finding adoptive homes, increased availability of placements for special needs and minority populations, increased kin and family…

    The Pros And Cons Of Foster Homes

    The night Jennings was left out in a foster home, his mother swore to come back for him. But to Jennings dismay, he had to get used to being in foster homes for a while. He couldn’t have thought of being there and he couldn’t have thought that love only meant being alone, but his 8-year old mind didn’t know that. He didn’t know that he was going to jump from foster home to foster home. He didn’t know he would stay there until he concluded what love was to him on his own. Jennings Michael Burch was in the foster homes because his mother didn’t have the right necessities and the foster homes didn’t either. Jennings situation is not uncommon, but it can’t happen all the time. In the year of 2014, over 650,000 children spent their time in a U.S.…

    The Pros And Cons Of Adoption

    According to the Cambridge dictionary, adoption is “the act of taking another person's child legally into your family to raise as your own child.” It quickly became a very popular thing to do in the mid-1900s. Since then, adoption has been a very common topic of conversation, more so of argument. Similar to a myriad of other controversial topics, people have their own opinions; many people are actually against adoption and could sit down and write a whole list of reasons why adopting a child is a terrible idea. However, many of those people never take into account all of the positives that come with adopting a child. Adoption is an amazing, indescribable act that I look forward to being a part of in the future. Just like almost everything in this imperfect world, adoption has its cons. As well, adoption has its pros; I believe that the more people partake in it, the better we can make the lives of children in need.…

    Pros And Cons Of The Foster Care System

    The foster care system in New York City is deeply flawed. Sixty-four percent of foster care children are impoverished in their adult lives, 50% of girls are pregnant within 12-18 months of aging out of the system, and 80% of all inmates on death row grew up in the foster care system. Foster care children should not have to fight against these statistics. The Felix Organization is providing solutions, through Camp Felix, Beyond Camp, the Felix Friendship Circle, and the Secret Santa Gift Exchange. Camp Felix, their largest program, is a four week long summer camp for children in foster care.…

    Declaring the "Undeclared" War

    Such accusations from society are ludicrous; millions of women maintain a balance between work and nurturing their family, but they do so with difficulty. However, with birth rates only increasing annually, it is difficult to prove that working women are not doing their part as mothers. Unfortunately, women have hardly advanced in their fight for equality since "Backlash" was published. Though federal law now requires that all women receive at least eight weeks of maternity leave , mothers are still plagued by the problems of child care affordability. The article points out that the availability of affordable child care for the average working in women is fairly scarce. In 1993, it cost an average of $215-$329 a month to put one preschool-age child into child care. With the need for more child care facilities rising,…

    Daycare: the Effects on Children

    With the successes of welfare reform and the high turnout of female college graduates mothers are increasingly, entering the workforce. As affirmed by the Wilson Quarterly (Autumn 98, Vol. 22 Issue 4), "Ben Wildavsky, a staff correspondent for the National Journal (Jan. 24, 1998), provides statistical background. In 1997, nearly 42 percent of women with children under six were working full-time, 5 percent were looking for work, 18 percent had part-time jobs, and 35 percent were not working outside the home" (p.115). Using these figures it is said that 65 percent of women with children aged younger than six are working or would like to be. Daycare is a necessity for the majority of working American mothers.…

    The Daycare Generation

    For centuries we have seen our family unit only one way; with the father going off to work, and the mother staying home with the children. All the way back to the beginning of humans it has been this way. Lately however, this is all changing. With women 's lib came the "new woman". She wants to do everything a man can do including having a career. The only problem is, there is no one to stay home to raise the children if mom goes off to work. The need for daycare has risen sharply as more moms are choosing to work rather than stay home. As a result, the family unit is growing apart. According to the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agency, over 20 million children ages 0-12 are in full time child care this year in the United States. Many of our children are now spending most of the day away from their home and family, and because of this, are not able to experience the values of close family bonds that our grandparents and great-grandparents had. If we wish to preserve our family ties and bonds, we should take steps toward bringing the family unit back together. The first step should encourage families to let children stay home with mom when they are young, and not put them in a daycare.…

    New babies are so adorable and they smell good, but they do not sleep constantly which means someone has to be up with them. From the beginning assuming mutual responsibility for child care and nurturing is essential. Parents can experience role strain and role overload from combining the increased work within the family with employment demands, or they may face difficulty arranging and affording child care (Kakkinen, Coehlo, Steele, Tabacco, & Harmon Hanson, 2015).…

    Pros And Cons Of Adoption

    Adoption is one of the topics that is discuss all over the country. Many of the topics speak on whether or not adoption is considered the right or wrong thing to do versus natural conception. Adoption is often looked at as a family’s last resort, but in several cases it is the only option for some to have a family. Many families that do go through the process of adoption can explain how it is a process that requires much patience, determination, and money. Adoption can cost anywhere from 4,500 to 40,000 dollars, according to HR magazine (Society for Human Resource Management, 2005) . This often renders many adults from proceeding with the process of adoption. Although adoption can be rigorous and expensive; it does have benefits. In order to…
