- Summary:
-
Public policy generally recognizes two basic facts about the importance of child care: child care assistance is essential if low-income mothers are to move toward self-sufficiency; and high quality supportive child care can help to provide children, and low-income children in particular, with the foundation they need to do well in school and become productive adults. However, public policy fails to recognize that members of the populations targeted for these programs are often also members of the same family. This paper argues that a single program, constituting a family support service, can meet the needs of both parents and children. The discussion provides details of such a program, and explores (1) the needs of parents, in terms of requirements for program participation and duration of child care assistance; (2) delivery systems, such as contracts, vouchers, and, with emphasis on its negative aspects, the Title IV-A Child Care Income Disregard; (3) costs of care; (4) children's needs; (5) school-age child care; (6) child care for children of adolescent parents; (7) transportation; and (8) the crisis in the overall supply of child care.
