A Study of the Parent Education in Child Care Programs - From Working Mothers' Perspective -

The purpose of this study was to investigate the specific needs of working mothers on the parent education in child care programs. The subjects for this study consisted of 100 mothers of two to six-year old children attending employer sponsored child care centers and a self-report questionnaire was used to collect data. The results of this study were as follows: First, working mothers pointed out coworkers as their most important source of child-rearing practices and perceived that it is necessary to include fathers in parent education programs. Second, they pointed out the subject as their most considerable factor to attend parent education programs and guiding children's social-emotional development as their most preferred subject of parent education. Third, they pointed out Saturday afternoon as their most preferred date and time of parent education and teacher-parent conference as their most preferred type of parent education. Further implications are discussed.
