Preferred term

child care centers  

Definition

  • Institutional child care in the Western world started in response to child care needs as a result of more mothers entering the labor force during the early industrialization period after World War II, the increase of urbanization, and the decline of the extended family system (Zigler & Gilman, 1996). Asian countries soon followed the trend. [Source: Encyclopedia of Applied Developmental Science; Child Care Centers, an International Perspective]
