Observations of Child Behaviours as Indicators of Child Care Quality in Singapore.
Kwan, Celina; Sylva, Kathy
Canadian Journal of Research in Early Childhood Education, v8 n4 p23-37 Jan 2001
This study of 16 Singapore child care centers found that children spent most of their time engaged in adult-led group, cognitive, and daily routine activities. Findings also suggest that good quality centers offer a variety of cognitively stimulating activities, such as literacy activities, academic and problem-solving tasks, and verbal interaction, that appear to be beneficial to children.
