Child Care and Economic Development
The early childhood care and education field are at an exciting moment. Across the US, there is increasing recognition of the economic importance of child care. Early care and education is being recognized as an important economic sector in its own right, and as a critical piece of social infrastructure that supports children's development and facilitates parents' employment. With support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, and the Health and Human Services Agency research from Prof. Warner’s Local Government Restructuring Lab has provided the foundation for this work.
Prof. Warner has been a leading scholar articulating the economic importance of child care. For more resources see http://www.mildredwarner.org/econdev/child-care
