From our President. Welfare Reform and You.
Clifford, Richard M.
Young Children, v52 n2 p2-3 Jan 1997
Discusses current welfare reform focus on state-level funding for child care, offering implications for early childhood professionals. Notes that with temporary assistance, low-income mothers must move into the work force, resulting in increased reliance on center-based child care. Urges professionals to work with local and state policymakers to focus on quality programs with adequate compensation and working conditions. (AMC)
