EXEMPLARY FEATURES OF
MILITARY CHILD CARE
A recent Urban Institute report, "Improving Child Care Quality: A Comparison
of Military and Civilian Approaches," by Carol De Vita and Maria Montilla,
outlines the exemplary features of the U.S. Military Child Care System and compares
it to several civilian models that are undertaking important reforms. It highlights
the importance of public investment in child care programs as well as establishing
and enforcing standards for excellent care. The report compares military
and civilian programs in the following areas:
Training and education of child care providers
Linkages between training and compensation
Subsidies to assure affordable costs for parents
Licensing and accreditation standards to improve quality
Inspections and oversight to establish accountability within the system
To view this complete report, go to the "Recent Reports" section of
the web site www.urban.org.
