Based on the theoretical approach of Subjectivity from a Historical-Cultural perspective, this study is part of a master's research in which the objective is to relate baby's play with the emergence of his/her first subjective manifestations. We seek to understand how the baby produces subjective senses in the characteristic pedagogical work with children from 0 to 3 years old. In these moments, the mediating communication expressed in the adult-baby interrelation is significant and full of possibilities to mobilize the baby's condition as a subject, which favors his/her subjective development. We This understanding allows us to overcome the dichotomy between caring and educating, so characteristic of the fragmentation of work with this population, since it is considered that, from our conception, this binomial can be exercised as a unit in the different activities and pedagogical strategies of how to play. The text presents concepts of the Theory of Subjectivity. It considers the relationship between the baby within the attentive and open dialogue in its multiple expressions in educational practice, where subjective development becomes central. Based on Qualitative Epistemology, from which the Constructive-Interpretative Methodology is derived, we highlight reflections on the unique ways babies play with music. In this research, the play simultaneously constituted a pedagogical activity and a research instrument and was strongly marked by the music produced by the researcher with her guitar. The study indicates how play can promote changes and/or developments in children's first subjective productions. Finally, we propose principles that articulate these interpretive constructions with possibilities for pedagogical work in the collective environments of daycare centers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Child day care centers emerged in the State of Guerrero at the end of the 1930s as a result of the insertion of women into the labor market, leading to the emergence of childcare. During the 20th century, daycare centers were restructured, and the State assumed the responsibility of supporting childcare centers through subsidies. However, the economic austerity in Mexico and the lack of transparency of financial information were determining factors for the budget cut in 2019, therefore, the objective of this research is to analyze the change in the organizational management of childcare centers in Mexico City, since the restructuring directed them to think about cooperativism for their survival and strengthen their organizational structure, in addition to continue generating welfare and social comfort. The analysis carried out is through a desk study, that is, a theoretical study historically contextualizing the childcare centers, together with the qualitative analysis of virtual interviews conducted by the Research Group on Care Economy and Economic Autonomy of the National Polytechnic Institute of the School of Economics, considering them as part of the Union of Cooperatives of Mexico City. Finally, the results show that the restructuring allowed them a greater participation in economic, social and community support, a better transparency of financial data towards society as well as to show the importance of care for children and of the centers that provide it.

Cinchona officinalis, known as cinchona tree, is a species of high medicinal value that became popular for its antimalarial and febrifuge properties and is listed as an endangered species. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of C. officinalis seedling size on survival and steam deformation after pricking out. A completely randomized design was applied with three treatments according to seedling height; 1) from 2.0 to 5.0 cm, 2) from 5.1 to 8.0 cm and 3) greater than 8.1 cm. For each treatment, three replicates and ten seedlings (experimental unit) were used for each replicate. The lowest survival rate was recorded in group 3 (30.0 ± 10 %), while the highest survival rate was recorded in group 1 (86.7 ± 5.8 %). Regarding the effect of C. officinalis seedling size on the presence of steam deformation, group 1 had the lowest deformation (20.0 ± 10 %), while group 3 had the highest number of individuals with deformed steam (83.3 ± 15.3 %). It is concluded that the survival and morphological characteristics of C. officinalis at 60 days in the nursery are directly proportional to the size of the seedlings used during the replanting process.

Interactions within preschool classrooms define the quality of early education. This study describes the quality of the interactions between educational agents and their 230 toddlers in 16 lower middle level classrooms of public daycare centers located in 14 municipalities of the Metropolitan Region of Chile. The quality of classroom interactions was measured with the Classroom Assessment Scoring System for the Toddler level (CLASS-T). A descriptive analysis of means indicated that both the Emotional and Behavioral Support domain and the Commitment to Learning Support domain attained a moderate level of quality (4.08 and 3.33 points out of 7 respectively). The weakest area of the latter domain was language development. Spearman's ordinal correlation revealed that interaction quality was not correlated with either educational agent characteristics, such as age, work experience, educational level, or studies complementary to their initial education, or classroom characteristics, such as the number of children per classroom. These results shed light on interaction quality in the lower middle level of preschool education--which has received limited scholarly attention--and have implications for improving early childhood education quality through more focused professional development programs for preschool teachers which differentiate between the levels of preschool education in Chile.

An analytic, observational, of cases and controls study, in children from "Pétalos de Rosa" and "La Espiguita" day care centers, belonging to the health area of "Armando García Aspurú" Teaching Polyclinic was carried out in Santiago de Cuba, during February, 2015 to March, 2016, aimed at determining the maternal and neonatal factors associated with the delay in the emergence of the temporary teeth. The population was conformed by 150 children from 2nd to 4th years of life, from whom 2 controls were taken (N = 100) for each case (N = 50). In the series a statistically significant association of the variables mother's nutritional state, mother's weight gain, maternal diseases, breast feeding and child birth weight was obtained, with the disorder of the temporary teething eruption in the children. It was suggested to carry out educational interventions in the day care centers and communities to support the family doctor's work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Missionaries of Charity have been expelled from Nicaragua as part of a persecution initiated by the dictatorship against 101 social entities. The decision of the Sandinista regime is due to the fact that the congregation does not have the necessary accreditation to function as a daycare center, child development center, girls' home, or nursing home, and they also do not have permission from the Ministry of Education for learning reinforcement tasks. Monsignor Silvio José Báez, auxiliary bishop of Managua, has expressed his solidarity with the community and has expressed his sadness at the obligation to leave the country. The Missionaries of Charity have been welcomed in Costa Rica by the Conference of Religious Men and Women of Costa Rica and the National Commission of Consecrated Life. The Costa Rican Episcopal Conference has confirmed that the 18 Sisters of Charity of Mother Teresa of Calcutta have been welcomed in the Diocese of Tilarán Liberia. [Extracted from the article]

The absence of the father in poverty contexts has been related to difficulties in the exercise of parenting, affecting negatively infants' mental health. Because of the recent social changes, in respect with the participation of women in work and the growth in the number of woman who are managing their homes alone, there has been an increasing interest in comprehending the situation of boys and girls that are entering nurseries and playgrounds in a younger age. This article studies the relation between the infant psychomotor development, the mothers' working day and the family configuration, in a sample of 199 children between ages 8 to 24 months, in a low socioeconomic level who attend nurseries in Santiago, Chile. The psychomotor development of the infants was evaluated with the Scale of psychomotor development 0-24 months (EEDP) of Rodríguez, Arancibia and Undurraga (1976). The information regarding the family configuration and the working day was extracted from the interview to the parents made by the person responsible of the institution. The results show that children who attend nurseries and whose mothers work a complete working day and who come from a single-parent family, score meaningfully lower in psychomotor development than the children whose mothers have a complete working day, but come from a bi-parental families.

The present study pretends to evaluate the bond that the children develop with their care centre staff in Chilean crèches, analyzing the caregiver sensitivity and the cooperative child response. A group of 43 toddlers between 8 months and 2 years old in interaction with their principal care giver at the child centre, was observed in three different moments during a year. Results show that the care centre staff maintain their sensitivity, decrease their controlled response and increase significantly their non responsiveness in time; while children increase in a significantly way their cooperativeness and diminished significantly their ambivalent response.

The study is about the quality of mother-child interactions in Chilean, single-mother, low-income families, considering the children's attendance to day nurseries and their starting age before and after they are 6 months old. The sample is of 80 dyads, with children between the 4 and 15 months old, and the quality of the interactions is evaluated with the Care-Index instrument. The dyads without attendance to day nurseries show higher quality interactions on the affective aspects, with a middle effect size. The dyads with children starting attendance before becoming six months old show significantly inferior quality interactions to the ones observed in the dyads of children who started attending after that age, medium and large effect sizes.

Hospitality services focused on children have become crucial due to the growing incorporation of women to the work force. Thus the need to establish clear parameters as to what child care means, so that child care institutions effectively carry out this important family support. This would not only be beneficial for the families who could trust their children's care to these upstanding institutions, but also for the corporations whose workers will be more well adjusted and efficient if they know their children are being well taken care of.

Objective: to evaluate the prevalence of nasopharyngeal S. pyogenes (SP) carriers among children attending a day care center (DCC) and the spread of specific clones (SC) among caretakers and relatives. Methods: nasopharyngeal cultures were performed in children with SP positive culture (306), family members (51) and caretakers (73) at time-0, four and seven months later. Differences among SP strains were determined. Descriptive statistics and Fisher exact test were performed. Results: SP prevalence in carrier children, caretakers and relatives was 10, 0 and 4 %. Three pairs of children, from two different classrooms, shared SP strains SC I, II and III. A clone VII was isolated from a relative. In the second survey, the SP prevalence was 4, 0 and 0 %. Two classmates shared clone I and other two from a different classroom shared clone V. In the third, the prevalence was 2, 4 and 14 %. Strains of clones II and VII were isolated from children. A sister of one child, who did not attend to DCC, was a carrier of clone II found in her brother. Clone III was isolated in one caretaker. Conclusions: the SP carrier prevalence was similar to other reports. The sharing of identical clones of SP was found among children in close physical contact. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article reports the results of a research project titled Integral Health Care for boys and girls under 6 years of age who attend Day Care Centers in the San Francisco Municipality. The central objective was to study the integral health care given to boys and girls under six years who attend the Day Care Centers of the LUZ-DEINCOG agreement, developed between January, 2005, and July, 2006. Following the empirical measuring approach, the inductive method was used and data from a population consisting of 16 Day Care Centers from the Domitilia Flores parish was interpreted; of these, 5 belonging to the DEINCOG Civil Association were selected intentionally. Results indicate that biological, social and environmental risks exist for boys and girls under six years of age who attend the Day Care Centers. Therefore, it was recommended to draw up a Risk Control Plan that pays attention to and follows up on each detected risk. At the same time, it will permit comparing the morbo-mortality rate for this population group in different regions of the country (sector, parishes, municipalities and states), thereby manifesting differentials according to living conditions.

Introduction. Objective: To identify risk factors associated to the nutritional status of infants 3 to 12 months of age attending to day care centers in Guadalajara, Mexico. Material and methods. In a cross sectional study 123 infants 3 to 12 months from 5 day care centers of Guadalajara were included. It was considered deficit of indices length/age, weight/age and weight/length with Z score <-1 SD. Socioeconomic, demographic, dietetic, pathological, and family dynamic variables were explored. With odds ratio and logistic regression, model variables with malnutrition risk factors were identified. Results. The mother's income lower than 3 minimum wage [OR 3.95 (1.38-11.4), P =0.003]; delayed weaning [RM 6.71 (1.92-24.4), P <0.001] and cow's milk intake [RM 4.95 (0.93-23.5), P =0.04] were associated with length/age deficit. Family dysfunction in 7% and un-married couple, mixed and long hours stay at day care centers were also associated risk factors (P <0.05). In dysfunctional families, the onset of weaning was earlier (P =0.015). Conclusion. Deficit in length/age was associated with low income, delayed ending of weaning, duration in day care centers and cow's milk intake. Family dysfunction increases the risk of inadequate infant feeding practices in the pediatric population studied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of the most important "felt necessities" that the relatives of patients with Alzheimer or another similar dementia have, is to solve the dilemma between the attention that the patient demands, and the use of their time in different activities, frequently destined to the familiar support. A fact that aggravates the situation is the frequent family difficulty to separate the patient of its nucleus (institutionalization, nursing home incoming). Facing this panorama, in different world places, the Day Care Centers as a resource, have arised as an aswer for partial attendance, that allows to family a space of lightening and a time for activities different from the patient's care. Even though Day Care Centers for demented patients exist in many places, each one of them must face particular problems derived from the cultural surroundings, the socioeconomic profile of the attended ones, the relatives's expectations, and the economic and human resources of each project. In this article, is exposed the way in which the first model of Day Care Center for patients with dementia in Mexico has been developed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
