Abstract

The Children's Foundation is a national advocacy organization for children and the people who care for them. Established in 1969 as an educational and charitable institution, the Foundation addresses the problems of children in poverty, especially children who are cared for by a woman alone. Past work of the Foundation has focused on federal food assistance programs for children and families. One Program which it monitors and helped to shape is the Child Care Food Program. The National Child Care Advocacy Project of the Foundation works with State and local day care associations comprised of low and moderate income women who provide child care in their homes. The Foundation also works in the area of enforcement of child-support orders. The Foundation undertakes national surveys of licensed child care program operations.
