Résumé

Cet article présente les résultats de l'évaluation d'un programme d'intervention préventive destiné à des enfants d'âge préscolaire qui fréquentent un milieu de garde et qui présentent des problemes de comportement. Les données ont été recueillies auprès des éducatrices (N = 41) et des parents (N = 40). Les résultats montrent qu'une majorité d'enfants voient leurs problèmes de comportement diminuer à la suite de l'intervention, laquelle diminution se maintient à moyen terme. Le programme est particulièrement aidant pour les enfants les plus en difficulté, ceux dont le parent répondant est plus jeune et ceux dont la famille, aux yeux des intervenants et intervenantes, se mobilise le plus. En lien avec le milieu de garde, on constate que le programme est particulièrement aidant pour les enfants faisant partie d'un groupe de plus petite taille, fréquentant un service de garde en milieu familial et dont l'éducatrice est moins scolarisée.

Abstract

This article presents the results of an evaluation of a preventive intervention program for preschool children with behavioural problems in childcare. The data were collected from caregivers (N = 41) and parents (N = 40). The results show that most of the children's problems decreased after the intervention, and that this decrease was maintained in the medium term. The program was particularly helpful for the children who had the greatest difficulties, children whose participating parents were younger, and children whose families, in the social practitioners' opinion, participated most. With respect to the daycare environment, it was noted that the program was particularly helpful for children who were in smaller groups, children in home childcare, and children whose caregivers had less education.
