Abstract

To meet the needs of the family, husband and wife are committed to working together. Some families choose not to have children and some families choose to use a third party to raise children while the parents are working. The choice of alternative child care has its advantages and disadvantages. To get a sense of security at work, parents choose to leave their children in daycare. This study examines the factors needed to determine a child care place that is in accordance with the wishes of the family. Various advantages and disadvantages that are felt in daycare are determined by four factors that need to be considered. These factors are the credibility of the daycare, the facilities owned by the daycare, the parenting pattern or rules applied to the daycare, the location of the daycare.
