Appendix A State Regulations for Family Day Care and Center Care The four tables in this appendix present information on state regula- tions for family day care and center care. The regulations are the minimum requirements under which programs are permitted to operate. The provi- sions are presented under four categories: general features, which include type of regulation and coverage as well as requirements for physical set- ting; group size, including caregiver/child ratios; caregiver qualifications; and "protective features," which include parental right to visit. The data in this appendix were drawn from G. Morgan (The National State of Child Care Regulation' 1986. Watertown, Mass.: Work/Family Directions, Inc., 1986) and the panel's survey. 315

Few issues have aroused more heated public debate than that of day care for children of working parents. Who should be responsible for providing child care—government, employers, schools, communities? What types of care are best?

This volume explores the critical need for a more coherent policy on child care and offers recommendations for the actions needed to develop such a policy.

Who Cares for America's Children? looks at the barriers to developing a national child care policy, evaluates the factors in child care that are most important to children's development, and examines ways of protecting children's physical well-being and fostering their development in child care settings. It also describes the "patchwork quilt" of child care services currently in use in America and the diversity of support programs available, such as referral services.

Child care providers (whether government, employers, commercial for-profit, or not-for-profit), child care specialists, policymakers, researchers, and concerned parents will find this comprehensive volume an invaluable resource on child care in America.
