Day Care for a Cityʼs Children

Abstract

When the demand for child-care facilities was rather suddenly increased in one large city, a day-care unit was set up in the health department to inspect and license nurseries and to provide health supervision for the children. This is the story of the public health nurse's rôle in that day-care unit. The author is 'health consultant of the Day-Care Unit, New York City Department of Health, a graduate of Lebanon, Bronx, New York, and formerly with the Henry Street Visiting Nurse Service. She helped to prepare the Survey Guide for Evaluating Health Services in Centers Providing Day Care for Children published in 1943 by the U. S. Department of Labor.
