Community Variations
in Child Care for Working Poor Families: Contributions
to Child Development and Parental Employment Opportunities
This is a three year field-initiated
project funded by the Child
Care Bureau of the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services in 2001.
The research employed an integrated design, using existing data gathered by
the state of Indiana , interviews, survey questionnaires, and direct observations
to describe and compare the “childcare landscapes” in four diverse Indiana
counties. The study, now complete, provides comprehensive data on the child care
experiences and outcomes of more than 300 low income working families in Indiana.
The results give a detailed picture of the types and quality of child care used
by these families. In addition, the associations between child care quality and
child development and parent employment outcomes are analyzed. |
