To determine the type of day care used and/or desired, a survey was conducted with representatives and women employees in industries in five economic planning and development districts of Arkansas during the summer and fall of 1971. Approximately 50 percent of the industries participated, with a total of 21,000 women responding to the survey. Results indicated that most companies had problems with women employees related to child care, but they are not interested in providing any aid to the employees in solving the problem. While less than two percent were currently using day care, approximately 50 to 60 percent of the women with preschool children desired to have day care or community day care centers but were willing to pay only 10 to 15 dollars per week. Cost figures from private and public day care centers were obtained and indicated that the cost per child per day ranged from three to eight dollars. In addition local, state, and federal regulations for day care centers were reviewed, and a master plan for an educational day care center which would accommodate 40 children was prepared. The cost of the educational program, along with outlines of staffing, programing, and architectural plans for expanding the facility to accommodate 80 children are presented. (Author/SB)
