National Academy Press19901 online resource (388 pages)Description based upon print version of record.9780309040327 0309040329 Includes bibliographical references and index.Few issues have aroused more heated public debate than that of day care for children of working parents. Who should be responsible for providing child care--government, employers, schools, communities? What types of care are best? This volume explores the critical need for a more coherent policy on child care and offers recommendations for the actions needed to develop such a policy. Who Cares for America's Children? looks at the barriers to developing a national child care policy, evaluates the factors in child care that are most important to children's development, and examines ways of protecting children's physical well-being and fostering their development in child care settings. It also describes the "patchwork quilt" of child care services currently in use in America and the diversity of support programs available, such as referral services. Child care providers (whether government, employers, commercial for-profit, or not-for-profit), child care specialists, policymakers, researchers, and concerned parents will find this comprehensive volume an invaluable resource on child care in America.Child careUnited StatesChild careGovernment policyUnited StatesChild care servicesGovernment policyUnited StatesChild careChild careGovernment policyChild care servicesGovernment policy362.7Hayes Cheryl D1813748Palmer John Logan147325Zaslow Martha J1814255National Research Council (U.S.).Panel on Child Care Policy.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910959760203321Who cares for America's children4367977UNINA
