"Constructing the Child: A History of Canadian Day Care," by Donna Varga. Book Review.
Prochner, Larry
Canadian Journal of Research in Early Childhood Education, v7 n1 p99-100 Jun 1998
Reviews Varga's book on Canadian day care. Suggests that the work's linkage of ideas concerning scientific child study and ideologies about the child to changes in structure and practice of child care highlights the concerns of children, mothers, teachers, and administrators. Notes that the limitations of the book are its brevity and the nature of its source material. (KB)
