Public Policy Report. Who Cares? State Commitment to Child Care and Early Education.
Adams, Gina; Poersch, Nicole Oxendine
Young Children, v52 n4 p66-69 May 1997
Examines state financial commitment to child care and early education. Indicates that levels of commitment vary widely, are inadequate to serve many children and families in need, and depend more on state "will" than on state resources. Points out that states give child care and early education a low priority. Suggests that increased commitment is necessary to prevent dependency. (KDFB)
