Abstract
Day care centres are of comparatively recent origin. They are institutions for the care of healthy children who cannot be looked after in their own homes for several hours of the day. They are not substitutes for family care, but supplement it. A large variety of institutions that exist for the care of young children fall into this group—crêches, nursery schools, kindergartens, day nurseries, etc.
