From the universally admired author of the bestselling classic Your Baby and Child: “a masterful work [that could] revolutionize the way America cares for its young children and bring about a radical improvement in the lives of children and their parents” (The Boston Globe). Who is caring for today’s children? How well are they succeeding? What does care cost, and who is paying for it? Leach answers these and other urgent questions with facts and figures gathered from the most current research, brought to life by the voices of parents, including those involved in her own five-year study. She highlights the urgent need in America today for measures to raise the quality of child care and to make the best care we can provide available to all families, just as it is in most other developed nations. Setting out clearly and candidly what is known about every aspect of child care—including the often hidden feelings and fears of parents—Leach presents a critical case for change.

The authors present the methodology, findings and conclusions of the Australian Institute of Family Studies' Early Childhood Study, designed in response to changes in early childhood care contexts and concern about their long-term effects. The study took a sample of children in their first year of school, identified the types of child care experienced in their preschool years, and assessed the links between differing child care contexts, cognitive skills, and social-emotional development. The authors' conclusion is that their analysis does not suggest that exposure to long hours of non-parental care in the first year of life, even when such care continues throughout the preschool years, is associated with long-term negative effects on Australian children. Family, mother and child characteristics were found to be more important in explaining both social-emotional and cognitive outcomes than child care contexts in the preschool years. They suggest that studies are needed which, rather than focusing on the long-term effects of non-parental care, instead take a holistic approach to the daily lives of children.

Changing attitudes, economics, and social norms have transformed how children are cared for. This nationwide survey examined views of parents, nonparental adults, employers, and children's advocates regarding child care and some of the policy debates these changes have spawned. Data collection methods included telephone surveys of 815 parents of children 5 years or under, interviews with 444 parents of children 6 to 17 and 214 nonparental adults, and mail surveys of 218 employers and 216 children's advocates. Major findings indicated that most parents of young children say they should bear primary child care responsibility. Seventy percent of parents believe that having a full-time parent at home is the best way to provide care for children under 5 years, with nearly half having made arrangements to do so. Parents generally regard day care centers with substantial distrust and often consider them as the option of last resort. Most parents indicated that day care should be improved rather than abandoned. The majority of parents using day care were pleased with their arrangement. Parents were primarily interested in tax policies that would make it more affordable for them to have a parent at home full-time during children's earliest years. Fewer than half the parents thought their employer was doing as much as could be expected about child care. Most employers were sympathetic but found it difficult to offer child care benefits. Child advocates believed that high-quality day care centers could be designed to provide care equivalent to that of parents. (Supportive data tables, endnotes, and a description of the methodology conclude this report.) (KB)

A great change is coming over childhood in the world's richest countries. Today's rising generation is the first in which a majority are spending a large part of early childhood in some form of out-of-home child care. At the same time, neuroscientific research is demonstrating that loving, stable, secure, and stimulating relationships with caregivers in the earliest months and years of life are critical for every aspect of a child’s development. Taken together, these two developments confront public and policymakers in countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) with urgent questions. Whether the child care transition will represent an advance or a setback for today's children and tomorrow's world, will depend on the response.

"It's just the same as all your stuff: thorough and sane and then, for me--because of the anthropological context you bring in--just a hell of a lot more interesting than other reading on the topic." David Epstein, bestselling author of The Sports GeneMost families will face the task of finding appropriate child care for their children. This is not a fun task and is made harder by the lack of high-quality care in most areas. This ebook is designed to help families navigate what is one of the most important yet least talked-about decisions they will make as parents. Serving as both information source and guide, this ebook covers the following areas to help parents find and transition their children to child care: * What are the options for care? So many times families think only about large centre-based daycares or home-based daycares, but there are other options that are available to some families. * What are the factors to consider when assessing a child care option? How safe is the environment? What do you even need to ask to find out how safe a given child care situation is? What about toys - are there too many or not enough? Do they go outside? In this book, I explore the three main areas to consider and what should be looked at in each: safety, environment, and quality of care.* How do you transition your child? As many parents will tell you, it's not as simple as just dropping your child off and hoping for the best. Knowing how your child transitions can help you make a plan to minimize the impact of the transition and make for a happier child care relationship in the long-term.* What does the research say about child care? So many different studies are out there, but what are the main points that we can take home? I summarize the research for you so you can better know what factors really matter and how you can apply these to your unique situation.* What if things go wrong? Sometimes things don't go as planned and you need to know the best way to handle these situations. I provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to handle difficult situations with care without getting too flustered or giving up.A short read packed with information, this ebook is for any parent who is facing the child care decision.
