Xiao Minfen, supervisor of the Conservation Group of the Cultural and Educational Foundation of the Children's Welfare League, said that1kloc-0/1was officially promulgated and implemented. According to the definition of this parent law, the long-talked-about integrated child care policy was clarified, allowing relevant institutions to conduct decentralized management. Paragraph 6, Article 2, Chapter 1 of the Child Care Law "Child care institutions refer to educational and health care institutions that provide education and health care services for children under two years of age"; Paragraph 7: "Kindergarten" refers to an educational and health care institution that provides education and health care services for children over two years old. In fact, these laws have been considered by public hearings and advisory committees for many years, by experts, scholars, practitioners and non-profit organizations in the field of early childhood education, and finally passed the third reading in the Legislative Yuan.
As far as the development of infants and young children is concerned, generally after the age of 2, the basic self-care ability and language expression ability of infants and young children gradually mature. At this time, infants and young children need in-depth education in different fields in addition to the nursery center (the local * * * social administration unit is responsible), so they enter the kindergarten in advance (the local * * * education unit is responsible). Nursery nurses graduated from child care related majors; The qualification requirement of kindergarten professional staff is to graduate from pre-school education and child health care, and have systematic and comprehensive training, which can help and pay attention to children's learning and development, including body movements, Chinese and health, cognition, social development, emotion and aesthetics. In addition to the different definitions of age, but also because of different learning content.
Before kindergarten integration
After kindergarten integration
Before the implementation of kindergarten integration, there will be the problem of age overlap between the units and the children under their jurisdiction. For example, in the past, the Social Bureau took care of children aged 0- 12, and the Education Bureau took care of children aged 7- 12.
The care of children aged 0-2 (including the nanny system and institutional nursery centers) is under the jurisdiction of the Children's Bureau and the Social Bureau of the Ministry of the Interior, and parents can find institutional nursery centers for their children.
The care and education of children aged 2-6 are under the jurisdiction of the Education Unit (Education Bureau), because after the age of 2, besides basic care, children should be given more education. But now the legally registered institutions are collectively called "kindergartens", not the so-called "kindergartens" in the past.

2 * * County Social Security Bureau can also inquire about the information of legally registered child care institutions.
Q: What is the legal teacher-student ratio in the nursery center? If there is an over-harvest in the nursery center, do parents have any way to judge? Duan Huiying, an associate professor at the National Taipei University of Nursing and Health, pointed out that the teacher-student ratio in the nursery center is 1: 5. As for how to know whether the nursery center has overcharged? She suggested that parents can count the number of children and the number of adults present when they go to the nursery center. If there are 12 children in a space, it means that at least three caregivers should take care of them at the same time. It is particularly important to note that if there are 12 children and 3 caregivers, among them 1 people often move in different areas (administrative area, kitchen, children's activity area, etc.). ), indicating that he may have several jobs, which are not suitable, especially taking care of the baby who can't climb. Even if the baby is sleeping, the caregiver should not leave without authorization.
The teacher-student ratio of the child care center is 1:5. How about babysitting at home? There are up to 4 nannies in the same address and place at the same time, including up to 2 under the age of 2; If there are more than four children, a child care institution shall be established in accordance with the Standards for the Establishment of Welfare Institutions for Children and Adolescents.
How to choose a nursery wisely? Q: What time can parents send their children to the nursery every day? When must I take the children home at the latest? Hou Meideng, chairman of Taipei Baby Care Association and head of Ipoh Baby Care Center, said that children can be sent to the baby care center as early as 7: 30 every morning, and parents will start to pick up their children around 5 pm. Usually, nearly half of the children in the nursery center have been taken home by their parents before 6 o'clock, and this delay usually lasts until 6: 30, 7: 00 or 7: 30.
In fact, the time required and the fees charged by each child care centre are different, because this is related to the operating costs of each child care centre. For example, the location of the child care center (located in remote areas or downtown) will directly affect the rent difference, plus other personnel costs.
In addition, Lin Xiufen, chairman of the Taiwan Province Baby Potential Development Association, reminded parents not to take care of their children too late. In fact, the staff of the nursery take care of the children in the center every day, play games with them and pay attention to their safety, which is also a great physical consumption. If they can have enough time to rest and go to work regularly, I believe it will be more beneficial to their children!
Q: Does the law set a ceiling on private child care centers? If I send my child to a nursery, can I apply for child care subsidy? Xiao Minfen, director of education and health care, pointed out that there is no mandatory upper limit for private child care centers at present, and private child care centers will respond to the charging price because of different education and health care models or increasing nursing manpower (such as nursing staff), which belongs to a free market mechanism.
Chairman Hou said that in order to promote the state and society to share the responsibility of taking care of infants and young children, the Children's Bureau of the Ministry of the Interior expanded the child-rearing subsidy benefit of 5438+00 1 1 in June, that is, for two-parent families whose comprehensive income tax is less than 20%, babies under 2 years old are sent to the community nanny system or nanny care center, and each family can get an average of 3,000 pounds a month. Families with more than three children are not restricted by double employment and comprehensive tax rate, and can subsidize their babies until they are two years old.
Associate Professor Duan Huiying encourages parents to make good use of * * * resources, enter the global information network of the Children's Bureau of the Ministry of the Interior, click on the "file download area" on the left side of the webpage, and then enter the "child care service category" to find more detailed and complete relevant information.
How to choose a nursery wisely? Q: Children aged 0-2 enter the nursery center. Will they be divided into different groups to take care of them on weekdays? Chairman Hou said that it is generally divided into three classes: 0, 0 and 0. The so-called Bao Xiao refers to being born to 6 months, Bao Zhong refers to 7~ 12 months, and Dabao refers to 12 months to 2 years old. In fact, the most important thing is to take care of children according to their age, not just to refer to their age.
Q: Before I pick up the baby at night, can the baby care center give the baby a bath? Lin Xiufen, the chairman, said that at present, the law does not force the child care center to help children bathe. She strongly advises parents to help their children bathe at night, which is an excellent opportunity to enhance the intimacy between parents and children, and secondly, parents have the opportunity to find out the changes in the baby's body, whether there are strange injuries and so on. She once encountered a situation in which a baby girl had congenital atresia, and her mother sent it to the nursery to find out. The baby nurse changed the baby girl's diaper several times and found it. She quickly informed her parents and sought medical treatment as soon as possible.
How to choose a nursery wisely? Q: Can the nursery help me take my children to get vaccinated? Chairman Lin Xiufen pointed out that it is the right and obligation of parents to take their children for vaccination. In the nursery, 1 The teacher has to take care of five children. If the teacher takes one child out for vaccination, what about the other children? In fact, even if you hire a full-time nanny to take care of your children, parents should not let the nanny get vaccinated, because if the nanny takes care of two children on weekdays and baby A needs vaccination, then baby B will of course pick it up when she goes out, but if there is any accident on the way, it is difficult to clarify the middle responsibility.
In addition, parents can take the opportunity of taking their children for vaccination to see a doctor and have the opportunity to exchange health problems with doctors; Sometimes the teachers in the nursery center find that the children are obviously backward in development, but no matter how euphemistically they tell their parents, some parents just refuse to believe and take their children for further screening; However, if parents take their children for vaccination, doctors may find that children may need other more professional medical assistance and communicate directly with parents. For parents, doctors are more professional and authoritative representatives, and they may be willing to start thinking about their children's development at this time.
Q: Will the nursery staff in the nursery center take the children out to play? Xiao Minfen, the supervisor of education and insurance, said that the child care center can let children bask in the sun or play with sand and water in the atrium of the community, touch flowers and plants ... and so on. But because a teacher has to take five children, it is very inappropriate to take children by public transport.
