ATTITUDES OF PEDIATRICIANS TOWARD DAY CARE

Abstract
This is a report of the attitudes expressed by 103 pediatricians in North Carolina toward the day care of children. They indicate a concentration of interest in the individual child and his health rather than on the broad community needs and problems in day care. There is more recognition of the needs and value of day care to the handicapped child in contrast to the normal child. However, the variety and spontaneity of many responses, and the willingness of the great majority of respondents to help in better development of day care seems to indicate interest of physicians in this growing field of child care and is being further explored.
