New Wine in Old Bottles: Increasing the Coherence of Early Childhood Care and Education Policy.

Barnett, W. Steven

Early Childhood Research Quarterly, v8 n4 p519-58 Dec 1993

Analyzes public interest in early childhood care and education (ECCE) policy. Chronicles federal policy in this area from the mid-1960s to the present, with particular attention to changes in the amount of funding and its allocation. Argues that ECCE policy is inadequately funded, fragmented, and internally inconsistent, and provides alternative proposals for a systematic reform of ECCE policy. (MDM)
