| Summary: | It's no secret to working parents that day care in the United States is terribly inadequate. For some families, child-care services are unavailable. For others, the care is unaffordable. All too often, it's not very good. Since most children have mothers who work away from home, child care is a necessity. But a National Research Council panel on which I served confirmed that many families cannot obtain the services they need, particularly for their infants, toddlers, school-agers, or children with illnesses or special needs. A law passed by Congress last year will make child care more accessible and affordable for some families with limited incomes. Yet many families will continue to find day care facilities crowded, dirty, staffed with untrained care-givers, and failing to provide quality care and education. |
