Perspectives in Child Care Policy

More about the book

The book explores four distinct value perspectives on child care policy: laissez-faire, state paternalism, defense of the birth family, and children's rights. Each perspective offers unique insights into the values, concepts, and assumptions about children, families, parental rights, and the state's role in child care. By examining these differing viewpoints, it provides a comprehensive understanding of the complexities surrounding child care policy.
