Book excerpt: Abstract: Practical applications of knowledge on infant development and good parenting are examined in a collection of 8 papers first presented at the 1975 Texas Conference on Infancy. Both parents and professionals are offered guidelines for developing child care programs. Group programs are intended to provide quality care for children without access to a good family enviornment, or to enrich those children with a healthy family life. State prevention programs alleviate many infant problems while strengthening the family. Several programs describe the establishment and operation of quality care centers. Topics include use of equipment and supplies; staff training; parent education; health and safety; daily learning activities; infant development; handicapped infants; and intervention in very young high risk children. An annotated bibliography reviews practical resources for infant, parent and day care programs and curricula.
