"great. if your conscience isn't moved by the idea of high-quality childcare for everyone, this book gives more than a few alternative arguements, which are quite compelling. david kirp isn't a early childhood wonk, but an economist. very good. if only we all would ACT on it now!"
"This book reviews the history of child care programs in the United States from the 1940's. It is a very good reference for people working in this field."
