Heymann, S. Jody; Vo, Phuong Hong; Bergstrom, Cara A.
Early Child Development and Care, v172 n1 p1-8 Feb 2002
Examined the experiences of preschool and school-age child care providers regarding sick child care. Found that providers repeatedly described sick children whose health problems made it impossible to provide adequate care for sick and well children in their care. Findings pose international public health policy implications for child care and paid family leave. (Author/SD)
