This document consists of seven fact sheets that address issues and problems associated with child care. The first one provides background information regarding the availability of child care services in private homes and centers, statistical information on working parents requiring child care services, and numbers of associations and agencies available for resource and referral. The remaining six fact sheets discuss the following: (1) family day care, or home-based child care, as the major form of child care in the United States, its characteristics and regulation; (2) the federally supported Child Care Food Program in family day care; (3) umbrella sponsorship (a state or local non-profit organization servicing several homes) for family day care homes participating in the Child Care Food Program; (4) an overview of the child support enforcement problem, directed to mothers, giving information on who is eligible for child support, why fathers don't pay child support and what can be done about it, and how to work within the child support enforcement system; (5) information on how to start a grassroots child support action group; and (6) issues in the regulation of family day care.
