Conference spotlights child care policy issues
Twenty six years after a White House conference on children the nation still faces high prices night and weekend care and high turnover in the industry serving about ten million children daily. The burden falls on working families across incomes with average annual day care costs around four thousand six hundred dollars per child. Experts warn that many children in care miss personal attention and stimulation essential for healthy development.
