This volume describes and discusses six major proposals for a complete model system of day care for indigent children in West Virginia. The recommendations include: (1) developing more specific objectives to be accomplished for children, parents, care providers, and the state; (2) developing a public education program designed to help parents provide good developmental experiences, including day care when appropriate; (3) upgrading the three options of day care delivery (family group care, center care, home care) through inspections, continual inservice training, and evaluation; (4) developing staff education and training programs that are compatible with the objectives and delivery options available; (5) developing a monitoring and evaluation system; and (6) reorganizing state and area staff so as to delegate responsibility and provide the support necessary to carry out the other recommendations. Minimum standards are proposed for family group care, center care and in-home care. Appendices include a study of transportation in West Virginia, a list of recommendations for training child care workers, and an outline of recommended in-take and payment processes for use by state welfare personnel working with child care clients.
