Senate OK for nationwide child care centers plan
The Senate approved a 2.9 billion bill on a 73 to 12 vote to create a nationwide network of child care centers with safeguards against government babysitting replacing parents. Centers would be free to the poor and modestly priced for others, offering parental, after school, nutritional and medical services mainly for about 5 million preschool children whose mothers work. The bill emphasizes family role and sets states to lead in administration, with provisions to limit universal outside the home care.
