Child Care Today by Penelope Leach
Penelope Leach, the universally admired author of the best-selling classic Your Baby and Child, diagnoses the state of child care in America and the world today. Who is caring for today's children? How well are they succeeding? What does care cost, and who is paying for it? Leach answers these and other urgent questions with facts and figures gathered from the most current research, brought to life by the voices of parents, including those involved in her own five-year study. She highlights the urgent need in America today for measures to raise the quality of child care and to make the best care we can provide available to all families, just as it is in most other developed nations. Setting out clearly and candidly what is known about every aspect of child care--including the often hidden feelings and fears of parents--Leach presents a critical case for change.Penelope Leach is a research psychologist and a recognized specialist on child development around the world. Your Baby and Child, Babyhood, and Children First are some of her books. She is a senior research fellow at Birkbeck College, University of London, and the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, as well as a fellow of the British Psychological Society and a visiting professor at Winchester University. She has served on the American Institute for Child, Adolescent, and Family Studies' Professional Advisory Council, the Sesame Street Curriculum Board, as a consultant editor for Child magazine, vice president of the Health Visitors' Association, and president and chair of the Child Development Society.
