Examined the preferences of mothers from two rural villages in India for existing child care arrangements in comparison with community child care and the community's opinions regarding child care arrangements or practices. Found that the most popular child care arrangement was using grandparents as caregivers, followed by community child care centers and older school-age siblings. (JPB)
