A Nice little site with some good resources. http://www.literacyvolunteers.org/ppe/ppe.html From: Connect for Kids Weekly – August 19, 2002 I just finished this one...good info. **Why Early Care Matters Good early care is critical, especially the care for vulnerable young children, according to this policy brief from the National Center for Children in Poverty, because good care helps preschoolers develop the social, emotional and behavioral skills they need to be ready for learning at school. http://www.nccp.org/ProEmoPP3.html Interesting figures here... **“Federal Child Care Funding for Low-Income Families: How Much is Needed?” The federal government spends about $6.5 billion on the Child Care and Development Fund and TANF, serving some 2.5 million children, but reached only about 15 percent of those eligible for federal child care assistance in FY 2000. This National Health Policy Forum issue brief provides data on current child care use, arrangements and costs, as well as an overview of the issues and research findings on quality child care programs. http://www.nhpf.org/pdfs/8-780+(web).pdf Have a great day!
