TABLE 13.

Needs expressed by users of day care services at Canadian universities (1975

Comment:

Table 13 suggests some ideas which could be incorporated into day care planning in educational institutions. While the continuing need for group care services is well documented and well discussed, we have little information about how many children would require evening or night care services. The numbers indicating a need for these services as both immediate and long-range services is significant enough to warrant further consideration.

When comparing this table to the previous one (Table 12), we discover some in congruencies. For example, 29% of the respondents indicated an immediate need for family care services; but the available services show that only 4% are of the family type.
