Day Care: Family Day Care. 9.
Administration for Children, Youth, and Families (DHHS), Washington, DC.
This handbook focuses on the distinguishing characteristics, variations, advantages, and disadvantages of family day care services. Following a brief description of family day care, the following three sections provide specific information for parents, caregivers, and agencies: (1) "What Parents Should Look for in Selecting a Family Day Care Home for Their Children," (2) "Practical Considerations before Offering Family Day Care in Your Home," and (3) "A General Guide for Agencies Operating Family Day Care Programs." In the last two sections, emphasis is placed on the administrative organization and coordination involved in setting up family day care services as well as resources for day care program development and implementation. Appendices provide information on sample family day care programs offered by various public and private agencies, examples of administrative forms, and a list of agencies and organizations concerned with early education.
