In this analysis of childcare in America, Edward F. Zigler and Mary
E. Lang examine the structural inadequacies of childcare and
approach the needs of children based on age. As more and more
families begin to enroll their children into childcare networks
outside of their homes, it has become far too common that these
environments compromise the cognitive and social development of
children. In a long-awaited definitive anatomy of the American
childcare system, Child Care Choices addresses the patchwork
construction of a system that, at best, has become increasingly
inadequate to meet the needs of a changing society. Putting the
methods that have succeeded up against those that have failed in
broad historical and cross-cultural perspective, the authors of
this book review different approaches of childcare in the United
States from colonial times to World War II and all the way up to
present day. Child Care Choices provides essential information for
those concerned with children and the policies affecting family
life and parental participation in the work force, from parents and
policymakers to corporate executives and childcare professionals.
