Summary

Among other developments on campuses in the decade of the 1960's, day care programs seemed to be burgeoning. From both personal experience and reading newspapers, the campus observer could easily gain the impression that such programs were sweeping the campuses. A brief inquiry revealed that reasonably accurate and systematically gathered information to support--or correct--such impressions did not exist. Nor was information available to those planning to develop such programs, or to develop policy for multi-campus systems, on the operational features of such programs as were existent. This situation stimulated undertaking a survey of "day care" in the Spring of 1971. The survey involved a systematic, random sample of 310 senior, coeducational, accredited colleges and universities in the United States. The sample was selected from the 1,093 such institutions in the Nation in 1970. Data reported on programs in the sample allowed calculating national estimates--estimates pertaining to the almost 1,100 institutions of higher education sampled.
