Forum on child day care features Yale study
A recent study led by YSN professor Angela Crowley has raised serious issues regarding health and safety in both child day care centers and family day care homes in Connecticut, and proposed pragmatic solutions. The findings were presented at a recent forum sponsored by the Child Health and Development Institute in Hartford, Connecticut.
The study, co-authored by Marjorie S. Rosenthal ’95MD, associate research scientist in general pediatrics at the Yale University School of Medicine, noted that, despite generally high levels of compliance with current licensing regulations, there are still alarming levels of noncompliance with a variety of health and safety provisions. The analysis strongly suggests that continuing education of day care providers and the presence of a trained nurse consultant contribute significantly to facilities being in compliance, while day care facilities in areas with low median household income tend to have more noncompliance issues.
