dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to discover the similarities and differences in the beliefs of parents and caregivers in daycare homes and daycare centres. It was felt that congruity in beliefs was an important factor in developing continuity between home and daycare. In this study, there were 56 triads of mother-child-caregiver in daycare centres and 72 in daycare homes. Mothers and caregivers were asked to assess their relationship with each other and to respond to questions about the child's characteristics, activities, and routines. The results indicate that home caregivers and parents form a closer relationship with each other and that they place more emphasis on maintaining continuity between the two environments. Their discussions appear to be concerned with both the routines involved in the child's care and the child's socialization, as indicated by higher congruence of beliefs in these areas. The relationship between daycare centre parents and caregivers was more business-like and the discussions tended to focus on the child's activities and the characteristics that would be discussed in that context. It is recommended that in order to develop continuity between home and daycare, the parents and caregivers need to communicate specific and action-oriented beliefs about the child.en
