Some parents have to work very far from home, they did not allow children to come to childcare, or children have to be alone when they reach home. The development of these children is slow both physically and intellectually. Although, some parents are divorced, these affected to children. That is why, childcare staffs have to observe and to evaluate children individually.
In some case, staff has to visit children at home and approach to parents, in order to prevent aggressive behavior or slow development in children who have problems. Staffs have to give an intensive care. Moreover, staff will check and handover children directly to parents or grandparents to prevent children stay alone.
