摘要
A survey of 1675 parents of preschool-aged children revealed higher levels of satisfaction with child care provided by relatives and by au pairs in the family's home as compared to either center-based care or home care providers. Parental satisfaction with these latter two forms of child care did not differ significantly. Mothers in general were more satisfied with their child care than fathers. However, child care satisfaction was a significant predictor of work/family balance for both genders. © 1998 Human Sciences Press, Inc.
