25.3: Conclusion

Conclusion to Continuity of Care

Continuity of care is a caregiving practice that has the potential to greatly benefit children, their families and caregivers. By keeping children and caregivers together for as long as possible (ideally through the first three years), respectful, trusting and secure relationships can be deeply formed. Although few group care programs implement continuity of care, by sharing accurate, research-based information and through strategic planning, more programs can strive toward this important caregiving practice.
