  • Barnträdgårdslärarens upplevelser av dagvårdsstarten : en kvalitativ intervjustudie om egenvårdarmodellen 
    Hietala, Heini (2017)
    The aim of this thesis was to investigate how kindergarten teachers experience daycare start. Within the Swedish speaking daycare in Helsinki, the work is based on the "With the eyes of children" approach. This working model addresses following questions; how do kindergarten teachers perceive home visits, how do they experience the soft landing period in daycare and what thoughts do they have about the self-care model. The theoretical part focus on theories associated with the self-care model, previous research and hence emphasize national governing documents. A qualitative research method was used in this study and data was collected by using a semi-structured interview. Three kindergarten teachers participated in the study and the interviews were recorded, transcribed and analyzed. The results reveals that kindergarten teachers perceive the self-care model as one of the most important tools in the field. Home visits are seen as an important trust building link between families and teachers and therefore are home visits perceived to deepen the relationship between the teacher, parent and child. Soft landing as a method creates a safe foundation for a child to start daycare as the child and teacher already have a connection with each other. Some improvement suggestions concerning the soft landing method are addressed. One improvement suggestion could be to clarify parents’ participation in the self-care model. Additionally was pointed out, that a self-caregiver at the daycare start, is quite tied up and that the self-care model does not always work out in the best possible way. This means that as a self-caregiver you have to be flexible and be able to adapt the self-care model in a neat way.
  • Vårdnadshavares upplevelse av dagvårdsstarten : de olika delmomenten och samarbetet 
    Lehmuskoski, Hanna (2017)
    The purpose of this thesis is to enlighten parent’s experiences of when their first child begins daycare in a small city. The daycare start is a multifaceted process, and in this small city it consists of an introductional information letter, a visit to the child's home, getting an own personal carer, and a training period in the daycare to prepare the child. The quality of the interaction between daycare staff and the parents has shown in earlier studies to be significant for the start, and is therefore also a part of this study. The research method used in this study is qualitative interviews. Three parents, whose first-born child recently had started daycare were interviewed. Each of them had experiences of three different types of daycare: municipal daycare, municipal family daycare, and municipal round-the-clock care. The results show that the parents in this city had very positive experiences of the whole daycare start. Therefore this study exemplifies what an ideal start in daycare looks like. The parents consider the most important factors in the daycare start to be that the process genuinely emanates from the child's needs, as well as a good collaboration with the daycare staff. All these factors together form the well-being of the child when starting daycare. The exchange of information and the means of communication can vary a lot, and also what age the child is may matter.
