Home-based daycare services are only part of the solution because, as Ms. Martz explained, home-based daycare providers tend to stop providing their services once their own children have reached school age; moreover, many rural women work early-morning, evening, or night shifts that do not correspond to normal daycare operating hours.
Les services de garde à domicile ne constituent qu’une solution partielle car, comme nous l’a expliqué Mme Martz, les familles qui offrent ces services tendent à cesser de les dispenser dès que leurs propres enfants atteignent l’âge scolaire, sans compter que beaucoup de femmes rurales travaillent tôt le matin, dans la soirée ou pendant la nuit et ont donc un horaire qui ne correspond pas à celui des garderies.
