Summary

"This publication highlights recent legislative efforts to expand early care and education, promote the development of young children, and meet a wide variety of state policy goals. Among the expanded policy goals are economic development and education, juvenile violence prevention and welfare reform. In the future, such pioneering state initiatives to support children and their families will increasingly be viewed as complementary elements of a broad approach to state policy development that empowers families to provide the productive and self-sufficient citizens of today and tomorrow"--Page xii.
