- Abstract
The issue of child injuries in home based child daycare often creates anxiety and dilemma for working parents. Although the government has set the need for registration by home-based child daycare if the number of children is over four children, there are still many unlicensed caregivers and carry out child-rearing operations. This qualitative research study with a single case design aims to explore safe environment practices among unlicensed home based child daycare. An in-depth interview method using semi structure questionnaire has been used in research data collection. Non-participants' observation also used as triangulation in this research. The sampling method is a purposive sampling involving a total of five home based child daycare with defined criteria. The results of cross-case synthetic analysis showed that there are five themes that decribe practice among unlicensed daycare names (i) prioritize hygiene (ii) sensitive to dangerous equipment (iii) work towards a safe environment (iv) lack of emergency preparedness and (v) involvement of caretaker family members. In addition, there are two important themes emerging in relation to child safety practices namely, (i) Child delinquency increases the risk of child injuries and (ii) the need of parental cooperation. Precaution to improve safe environment practices among unregistered caregivers are discussed particularly about the skills and enforcement requirements of the government policy.
