Northe - Affairs Day care by JANE E. GREER This column will be of particular interest to working parents who are contemplating day care for their children. Day Care is regular child care outside your home which is provided by someone else while you are at work. As a child's preschool years are vital growth years where his or her sur- roundings will have an influence on their phy- sical, intellectual and emotional development, the choice of day care facilities appropriate for your individual child is an important decision for working parents. Basically, there are three main types of day care facilities: Private Home Day Care, Nur- sery Schools and Day Care Centres. Private Home Day Care is generally a home in your neighbourhood or convenient to your place of work, where the children of one or more families are cared for during the day. In most instances the day care provider is a mother with children of her own at home. In a private home, your children be- come part of a family atmosphere. They play with other children and often experience such outings as trips to the Labour Canada by JANE E. GREER Not all employment in Ontario is covered under the Employment Stand- ards Act, administered by the Ontario Ministry of Labour. The following - column may be of inter- est to people whose em- ployment is legislated federally by Canada's Department of Labour. Labour Canada works to maintain a healthy industrial relations en- vironment across, Cana- da by promoting em- ployer-employee co-op- eration in all work relat- ed matters; by assist- ing in the collective bar- gaining process; and by proposing labour legis- lation that responds to changing social and eco- nomic conditions. The Department of Labour plays a leading role in the develop- ment of labour policy in Canada and, through its involvement with the In- ternational Labour Or- ganization, contributes to the improvement of labour conditions throughout the world. Labour Canada has specific responsibility, under the Canada Labour Code and other legislation, for » enter- prises within federal jurisdiction, including interprovincial and international railways, trucking, telephone and telegraph systems, pipe- lines, canals, ferries, tunnels, bridges, ship- ping and shipping ser- vices, broadcasting and cable systems, air trans- port and airports, banks, grain elevators and mill- ing facilities, and uran- ium mining and certain crown corporations. Industrial Relations Labour Canada's Fed- eral Mediation and Con- ciliation Service pro- vides third-party assist- ance in the prevention and settlement of col- lective bargaining dis- putes and other labour- management problems in industries under fed- eral jurisdiction. It also has responsibility for the appointment of arbi- trators to settle griev- ance disputes, as well as 'adjudicators to hear complaints of alleged unjust dismissal filed by employees who are not subject to collective agreements. Working Conditions Across Canada, labour affairs officers ensure that labour stan- dards are adhered to and assist employees and employers to resol- ve differences over al- 'leged unjust dismis- sals. Similarly, health and safety officers protect the well being of em- ployees in the workplace by ensuring that safety standards are observed, and environmental haz- ards are minimized. The Women's Bureau sponsors studies, con- ferences and seminars to promote and protect the status of women in the. workplace. It also monitors legislation and recommends initiatives for change to provide equal employment op- portunities.

This type of day care, according to provincial regulations can accom- modate up to five child- ren only, which insures your child ample oppor- tunity to relate to the day care provider. (In some municipalities ac- commodation of this type may be restricted to three children). While these facilities are not licensed they may in some areas be supervis- ed. Supervised homes are those that are ap- proved by the municip- ality or a community agency and must meet specific requirements such as safety standards and an adequate play area. Nursery Schools pro- vide half-day programs for children under school age, which means that they are not set up to meet the needs of most working parents. But you may wish to arrange a combination of private-home care and nursery school for your child. Nursery Schools are licensed by the Ministry of Com- munity and Social Ser- vices and are operated by a municipality or a corporation. (Co-opera- tive groups of parents have set up several nur- sery schools throughout the province.) Day Care Centres, like Nursery schools are regulated by the Minis- try of Community and Social Services. In a Day Care Centre a maxi- mum of 25 children with at least two trained teachers are cared for as a group. A typical day includes creative acti- vities, physical play op- portunities both indoor and outside, nature study, stories, music Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, February 29, 1984, page 3 lated by the Ministry of Community and Social Services under the Day co.itinued from page 10 and dramatic play as well as rest periods and a wholesome noontime meal.
