If you ask a pediatrician of the older generation, whether he regards as educational institutions, crèches, the answer will often turn out clearly: no.
For from the perspective of physicians is the manger of the place where children get sick easily: colds, coughs and ear infections can spread rapidly if small children will meet with a runny nose. Furthermore, the view older pediatricians, infants need their Mother constantly, so child care is only acceptable in exceptional cases.
However, the views are changing. Thus, the Professional Association of Child and Adolescent Physicians Everything considers appropriate, provided they have enough qualified personnel. "In the handling of parents with their children not primarily on quantity but on quality," says association president Wolfram Hartmann.
two hours with a balanced mother or father were relaxed for a child worth more than twelve hours with a frustrated parent. Cribs with sufficient qualified staff to find Hartmann's assessment especially support disadvantaged children. recorded
1,000 children
that cribs are educational institutions, says a study by the Bertelsmann Foundation, which will be released this Monday. Accordingly, successful children who have attended a nursery, after the jump to high school more frequently than other children.
The study, commissioned by the Foundation to the Institute in Bern bass in order recognized educational careers of more than a thousand a representative sample of children who were born between 1990 and 1995 in Germany.
It turns out later that the cribs children managed exactly half of the transition to a high school, from the non-nativity children did so only slightly more than one-third.
the differences were even clearer when the parents were immigrants or had a secondary school. "Improving educational opportunities for children from disadvantaged backgrounds by a visit to most cribs, accounted Anette Stein and Kathrin Bock-Famularo by the Bertelsmann Foundation.
Such successes surprising, given the sometimes catastrophic personal key. But after Bock Famullas view can apparently even be poorly equipped cribs for underprivileged children gain.
Moreover, statistics show that some states set adequate staff. "I suspect that the educational success would be greater work when really all cribs with sufficient high quality staff would, "says Bock Famularo. tried
The study also to determine the economic benefits of cribs. So the later life income for a high school was clearly due to that of a poor educated. increase the Creches expansion, the number of high school students originate, an economic benefit of nearly 22,000 euros per cribs child.
The cost of a nursery place from about 8000 €, for the most part, the State would be offset by slightly, the study argues. Each euro invested in creches would, would year because of the success of the school children for the economy interest rate of more than seven percent.
