CHILDREN'S OPINION ON DAY CARE CENTER

Abstract

Day care centers are ways of alternative
assistance to avoid institutionalizing children or removing
them from the family of origin. They operate according to
well-defined principles, offering several types of services,
especially recovery/rehabilitation and leisure for vulnerable
people. Day care centers for children unfold care,
education, social work, counseling, school and professional
guidance for children and support and counseling for their
parents.
The study aimed to capture on the basis of a guided
interview the views of the children about the conditions of
the day center and the effect of its attendance on their
behavior and school efficiency. The analysis of the answers
to the ten questions of the guided interview demonstrates
the good opinion of the children about the conditions and
activities offered by the center and the school and social
progress made by the children that are following the center
attendance.
