Envisioning a Solution --Notes --IndexWhy the United States has failed to establish a comprehensive high-quality child care program is the question at the center of this book. Edward Zigler has been intimately involved in this issue since the 1970's, and here he presents a firsthand history of the policy making and politics surrounding this important debate. Good-quality child care supports cognitive, social, and emotional development, school readiness, and academic achievement. This book examines the history of child care policy since 1969, including the inside story of America's one great attempt to create a comprehensive system of child care, its failure, and the lack of subsequent progress. Identifying specific issues that persist today, Zigler and his coauthors conclude with an agenda designed to lead us successfully toward quality care for America's children.ChildrenServices forGovernment policyUnited StatesChild welfareGovernment policyUnited StatesElectronic books.ChildrenServices forGovernment policyChild welfareGovernment policy362.70973Zigler Edward1930-1046936Marsland Katherine1049260Lord Heather1049261MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456168503321The tragedy of child care in America2478115UNINA
