Excerpt from Family Day Care in the United States, Vol. 1: Summary of Findings The National Day Care Home Study was a four-year study of urban family day care sponsored by the Day Care Division of The Administration for Children, Youth and Families in the Office of Human Development Services, Department of Health and Human Services. Family day care is nonresidential child care provided in a private home other than the child's own. Encompassing a myriad of unique arrangements between families and their day care providers, family day care constitutes the largest, most complex system of child care in the United States. It is distinguished from care in a day care center, nursery school or other group facility as well as from substitute care provided in the child's own home. Family day care is composed of three major categories delineated by regulatory and administrative structure. The largest of these categories con sists of unregulated providers who operate informally and independently of any regulatory system. A second category consists of regulated (licensed or registered) caregivers who meet state and/ or federal standards but, except for this link with the broader day care community, operate independently. The third, and smallest, group of providers consists of regulated homes which are operated as part of day care systems or networks under the administrative auspices of a sponsoring agency.

Frances Perkins is no longer a household name, yet she was one of the most influential women of the twentieth century. Frances Perkins was named Secretary of Labor by Franklin Roosevelt in 1933. As the first female cabinet secretary, at the height of the Great Depression, she spearheaded the fight to improve the lives of America's working people while juggling her own family responsibilities. Perkins's ideas became the cornerstones of the most important social welfare legislation in the nation's history, including unemployment compensation, child labor laws, the forty-hour work week, and Social Security. Also, as head of the Immigration Service, she fought to bring European refugees to safety. Based on eight years of research, extensive archival materials, new documents, and exclusive access to family and friends, this is the first complete portrait of a devoted public servant with a passionate personal life, a mother who changed the landscape of American business and society.--From publisher description.
