Child Care Center Licensing Standards in the United States: 1981 to 1995.

Snow, Charles W.; And Others

Young Children, v51 n6 p36-41 Sep 1996

Studied child care quality indicators via a comparison of state child care licensing requirements in three areas: child staff ratio, group size, and caregiver educational requirements. Compared these data to 1981 data to assess changes in licensing regulations. Found both positive and negative changes and that regulations vary greatly state by state. (SD)
