Older cribs may not meet current standards. Crib slats should be no more than 2 3/8" apart, and mattresses should fit snugly. This can prevent strangulation and suffocation associated with older cribs and mattresses that are too small. SOFT BEDDING: Be sure that no pillows, soft bedding, or comforters are used when you put babies to sleep. Babies should be put to sleep on their backs in a crib with a firm, flat mattress.

17. NNCC Research: Satisfaction For Providers And Parents What Leads to Satisfaction for child care providers and parents? Britner, PA(1999). What leads to satisfaction for child care providers and parents? http://www.nncc.org/Research/satisfaction.html

What Leads to Satisfaction for Child Care Providers and Parents? Preston A. Britner, Ph.D. Assistant Professor School of Family Studies University of Connecticut Storrs, CT What leads to parents' and providers' satisfaction with child care? Britner and Phillips (1995) studied the issue. We attempted to improve upon existing research by distinguishing the specific dimensions of care that are associated with satisfaction, including assessments of parent and provider attitudes, and studying satisfaction over time using a short-term longitudinal design. We focused on four functional dimensions of continuity as possible predictors of satisfaction for parents and providers: (1) child care as a social support to parents; (2) parent involvement in care; (3) parent-provider agreement on child-rearing beliefs; and (4) parent-provider agreement on the importance of specific dimensions of care, which were valued by parents in their choice of care and by providers in their definition of good quality care. Ratings of satisfaction were obtained from 27 center- and home-based child day care providers and 90 parents whose children were in their care. High Overall Satisfaction In our study, center parents and providers and family day care (FDC) parents and providers were all equally satisfied on the dimensions of the care settings' structural quality (e.g., group size) and the quality of interactions between providers and children (e.g., attention to children). Contrary to the hypothesis that provider training and experience and group size would predict satisfaction with care, these variables were significantly associated with satisfaction only for center providers. The importance of functional (e.g., parent-provider interaction) rather than structural (e.g., provider training) markers in predicting satisfaction with care in all groups in this study is in line with previous findings about what dimensions of care are important to parents' satisfaction (Shinn et al., 1991). The traditional "quality" variables of academic research and licensing standards simply were not associated with parents' satisfaction with care.
