Part 3: Chinese parents' concerns about safety

The issues of health and safety in the childcare emerged from the responses as the concerns for the parents of this research. These Chinese parents, regardless of their children's ages, were consistent about the importance of these issues.  

These parents were happy to accept messy play but believed that interaction with sand and water brought some unsafe and unhealthy factors to their children, for example, wearing wet clothes and having dirty hands. The children were too young to think about everything when playing. The parents emphasized that the childcare teachers were responsible for supervising the children's play, and had to pay big attention to the children's these issues to make sure the children act safely.
