Reagan, Clinton, and Obama
March 26, 2013
The man who is too old to learn was probably always too old to learn.
-Henry S. Haskins
In his report, Child Care and the Economy, Part I, Mike Wilson of MCH Strategic Data observes, "There were two periods of outstanding growth in the child care center market over the past thirty years. Their characteristics were remarkably similar even though they occurred under two presidents who were remarkably different."

In this report, Wilson, analyzes the conditions under which child care expanded during the administrations of Presidents Reagan and Clinton. He then addresses the challenges facing President Obama as he proposes another large expansion, comparing the economic conditions in place during the Reagan and Clinton terms with those Obama now faces.

In addition to policies set by Reagan, Clinton & Obama, President George H.W. Bush, #41, signed into law The Military Child Care Act of 1989 (P.L. 101-189) and the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act/Child Care and Development Block Grant (P.L. 101-508). The latter is the first U.S. law that provided specifically for child care support. The first President Bush also established the Education Summit which included as the first of six educational goals, "that all children will start school 'ready to learn'."

Thanks for the information about child care policy under Reagan, Clinton, and Obama. I would like to point out that George H.W Bush also was responsible for key child care legislation: he signed into law The Military Child Care Act (P.L. 101-189) and the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act/Child Care & Development Block Grant. The latter is the first U.S. law that provided support specifically for child care. Also, the Education Summit adopted six education goals, including children starting school "ready to learn."
