Practitioner's Perspective: "Adding Two School Age Children" (A Family Child Care Professional's Response).

Eaton, Deborah

Early Childhood Research Quarterly, v12 n3 p343-45 1997

Discusses the advantages and disadvantages of adding school-age children to family child care programs, based on personal experience as a family day care provider. Notes that a safe, nurturing environment is as important for school-age children as preschoolers. Suggests that every family child care provider's capacity and program needs are different and must be assessed accordingly. (TJQ)
