- Summary
- Explores the history of ideas and practices of child care as carried out in Canadian day nurseries from their establishment in the late nineteenth century. Outlines the effect the University of Toronto Institute of Child Study had on the creation of caregiving practices, turning them from centres that primarily cared about the needs of mothers to places concerned for developmental supervision and management of children.
