• W264362253 abstract "Most often, public programs are targeted toward disadvantaged children. Head Start, for example, primarily serves three - and four-year-old children from poor families. Many state preschool programs also provide services to disadvantaged three- and four-year-olds, be they children living in poor families or communities, or those otherwise defined as risk. State programs that provide subsidies to help pay for child care expenses also focus on serving low-income families; state income eligibility cut-offs range from 125 percent to 255 percent of the federal poverty level. [1] As a result, these public initiatives are often targeted toward the same population of children. Dramatic changes in the American family during the last 35 years have brought child care and early childhood education to the top of the public policy agenda. With more parents working outside the home, reliable, developmentally appropriate, and affordable child care has become a necessity. The care of young children, however, involves complex public policy issues. On the one hand, extensive research has documented that high-quality classroom environments, teacher continuity, and other social and health services aid children's development. On the other hand, there is an inadequate resource base in the industry. Costs for families are high, teacher salaries are low, and turnover is common. Continuity of children's care is difficult to guarantee. As a result, such contradictions have provided justification for public involvement in the funding and provision of child are and early education. Traditionally, public dollars have either provided enriched early childhood experiences in part-day programs or subsidized the cost of full-day child care in the market. In the last 10 years, however, changes have been occurring in the early childhood community. Local programs have begun to combine multiple sources of public dollars and break down the boundaries that have separated the early childhood community. Motivated by the increased demand among low-income families for high-quality, full-time care that is provided throughout the year, these initiatives provide a new model of service delivery worth examining further. Policy Environment The public role in financing early childhood programs has developed along three parallel but distinct tracks. In 1965, the Head Start program was established as part of the anti-poverty initiatives of the Great Society. As a federal initiative, Head Start traditionally operated in a separate sphere from other early childhood programs. Detailed performance standards provide a blueprint for national implementation, teachers and managers receive professional development, and programs undergo standardized monitoring. This infrastructure created by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has supported the delivery of comprehensive services to low-income families in part-day, part-year programs which have been the hallmark of the Head Start intervention for more than 30 years. [2] According to a survey conducted by the National Head Start Association, in 1993 only 1 percent of children received full-day, full-year care. Yet, the new work requirements imposed by welfare reform have caused an increased deman d for this type of care among the poor families Head Start serves. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, state governments also began allocating resources to part-day preschool programs focused on three-and four-year-olds. These initiatives are administered by state education departments, which initially allowed a school district to operate programs at its own option. State commitment to preschool education has grown over time; by 1998, 39 states funded at least one preschool initiative. While state governments make policies, local school districts often hold considerable authority in making curricular decisions, developing teacher training, and monitoring quality. Typically, preschool programs operate during the school year with part-day sessions like most kindergarten classes. …" @default.
