Primary caregiving in day care centers: A practice to be re-conceptualized?
Type de matériel :
24
This literature review aims to study the principle of primary caregiving, a professional practice in day care centers that consists of designating a specific adult carer for each child. The conceptual analysis reveals that the boundaries and definition of this practice remain very unclear, while its application in the field is extremely uneven and the source of debates on its usefulness for children. Clinical papers and scientific studies tend however to support its implementation in day care centers and highlight the benefits it brings to children, although research in this field remains very rare, especially in the French-speaking context.
