Terms of Use Section 1 Affordability Section 2 Accessibility Section 3 Care for School-Age Children Section 4 Community Building Section 5 Family Child Care Section 6 Quality Section 7 Professional Development for Caregivers Section 8 Consumer Awareness Consumer Awareness The Concept One of the most challenging tasks facing new parents is arranging for care for their babies. Most families have precious little time to explore or weigh their options. The majority of infants in the United States begin some kind of regular child care in their first year of life-often in the first three months. Unlike most other industrialized countries, the United States has no "system" of early care and education. Parents who need or want child-care services can choose among public, for-profit, and not-for-profit settings. They can select religious or secular programs. They can opt for out-of-home care in child-care centers or family child-care homes, they can arrange for care by relatives, or they can hire a caregiver to provide care in their own home.
