In response to the growing need for day care in Tennessee, the Governor's Task Force on Day Care was appointed to encourage the development of more and better day care opportunities for the children of working parents. Three committees were established to develop recommendations. The Access to Day Care Committee identified the types of day care in short supply and recommended ways to improve the availability and accessibility of care. The Quality of Day Care Committee examined issues related to quality including parent involvement, provider training, and standards of care; and developed recommendations on ways to improve the quality of day care. The Employer Support for Day Care Committee developed ways to encourage more awareness about day care among employers and more support for day care in industry and small business. Following an executive summary and introduction to the report, day care services in Tennessee are described in terms of availability and type of day care, and the role of the state government. Then, each committee's recommendations are presented, along with general background information, findings, and supporting material. The specific agencies and groups responsible for the implementation of the recommendations are indicated in the appendices. Agency, department, and staff liaison to the task force are also listed in the appendices. (RH)
