Family-Oriented Day-Care Institutions, 1983

This survey forms part of a major project dealing with family-oriented day-care institutions. # The main purpose of the project is to examine the experiences and opinions of parents and staff as regards parent co-operation as well as their opinion of the everyday life and well-being of the children. # The background of the survey was a wish from the Ministry of Social Affairs and the Research Committee of the Directorate of Social Services (Socialstyrelsens forsøgsudvalg) to involve the Danish National Institute of Social Research in the evaluation of pilot projects within the field of day-care and child institutions, and the survey should be seen as an extension of the work of the Child Commission (Børnekommissionen). In its reports the Commission puts special emphasis on the importance of an extension of parent co-operation where the parents are involved more actively in the work at the day-care institutions, among other things in order to strengthen the connection between the various environments of the children's daily life and create continuity in their lives. # The results of the survey are meant to contribute to pointing out how the day-care institutions may best be organized so that they may meet the needs of the families and of the children. # The survey consists of an intensive study of two age-integrated institutions which both have as their aim extended parent co-operation and which were both established on the initiative of a group of parents. The two institutions are situated in widely different areas: Læssøegården in Nørrebro in Copenhagen and Baunehøj in Lynge in the municipality of Allerød. The survey consists of telephone interviews with all the parents, periods of observation by participants at the institutions, and intensive interviews with members of staff and some of the parents. # In addition, another age-integrated institution in Nørrebro is included, i.e. Ryesgade 60, as well as two kindergartens in Lynge: Lynghøj and Kokkedal kindergartens. These three institutions are examined in less detail by means of telephone interviews with the parents and interviews with members of staff. # The filed data material is based solely on the telephone interviews with the parents of children in the five institutions

本调研属于一项针对家庭型托育机构的重大研究项目的组成部分。
本项目的核心宗旨为：探究家长与教职员工对家长协作（parent co-operation）的体验与看法，以及二者对于儿童日常生活与福祉的评价。
本次调研的背景源于社会事务部与社会服务局研究委员会（Socialstyrelsens forsøgsudvalg）的委托意向：邀请丹麦国家社会研究中心（Danish National Institute of Social Research）对托育与儿童照料领域的试点项目开展评估，而本调研可视作儿童委员会（Børnekommissionen）相关工作的延伸。
该委员会在其报告中着重强调了拓展家长协作的重要性——即推动家长更积极地参与托育机构的日常工作，以此强化儿童日常生活中不同生活场景间的联结，并为其生活营造连续性。
本次调研的成果旨在为优化托育机构的组织模式提供参考，以更好地满足家庭与儿童的实际需求。
本次调研对两家混龄托育机构开展了深入研究：两家机构均以拓展家长协作为核心目标，且均由家长群体倡议创办。这两家机构分别坐落于差异显著的区域：哥本哈根诺雷布罗区的莱瑟园（Læssøegården），以及阿勒罗德市镇林厄地区的博内霍伊（Baunehøj）。调研方式涵盖对全体家长的电话访谈、调研人员驻机构开展的实地观察，以及对教职员工与部分家长的深度访谈。
此外，本次调研还纳入了诺雷布罗区的另一家混龄机构——里斯街60号（Ryesgade 60），以及林厄地区的两家幼儿园：林霍伊幼儿园（Lynghøj）与科克代尔幼儿园（Kokkedal kindergartens）。针对这三家机构的调研相对简略，仅通过对家长的电话访谈以及对教职员工的访谈完成。
本次调研的实地数据资料仅基于对上述五家机构内儿童家长的电话访谈采集所得。
