Better for Babies – A Study of State Infant and Toddler Child Care Policies

The Center for Law and Social Policy released this paper documenting where State policies stand in relation to a set of key child care subsidy, licensing, and quality improvement policies that support the healthy growth and development of infants and toddlers in child care settings. Data in this report was collected through a State survey, as well as from publicly available data sources. Collectively, they offer a baseline of policies important for babies in either home-based or center child care.
