This report briefly discusses present rationales, future prospects, and methods and procedures involved in employer support of child care. It is based on a study which was intended to test the feasibility of providing child care and youth programs, through a system design, for employees of resort hotels and the primary labor union involved with the hotels. A state-wide survey of child care needs in Nevada was conducted followed by a special study of Clark County, which has 56% of the state's child population. In addition, members of the Culinary Union in Las Vegas and Reno were surveyed as to their needs and attitudes toward child care. A system was developed for measuring the quality of child care facilities and the competence of caregivers. Also, a study was made of current programs of employer-supported child care throughout the United States. Examples of such programs are described, and federal government policies which promote industrial child care are discussed. Lengthy appendices, which make up the bulk of the document, include: (1) detailed reports of the survey of union members and the survey of the Clark County general population, as well as a brief comparison of the two surveys; and (2) an extensive draft of a voluntary accreditation system proposed for the state of Nevada which consists of separate procedural manuals for accrediting child care facilities and credentialing staff members who serve as directors, caregivers, or joint director/caregivers.
