Abstract
Infants five to thirty months old were observed for one week on entering a day care program, and again at the end of one month. Frequency of behaviors reflecting social and emotional adjustment were recorded. There was significant decreases in frequency of crying, sitting alone, and interacting with adults, while interactions with other children increased significantly. Results indicate that children of this age can adjust well, and quite rapidly, to a day care setting.Keywords
