This book was released on 1982 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military child care centers provide care for about 53,000 military dependents daily at more than 400 installations worldwide. Although the services have expressed a commitment to providing quality care and have taken action to upgrade some facilities and develop program regulations, GAO finds that many child care centers currently in use are neither safe nor suitable. The majority of centers in the Army and Navy and 20 percent in the Air Force need upgrading. DOD-wide minimum standards are lacking for important program elements including: (1) total group size, (2) caregiver/child ratios, (3) educational activities, (4) staff training, and (5) food services. GAO recommends that the Secretary of Defense take certain actions to insure that the services provide quality child care programs. (Author).

Download or read book Examining Child Care Need Among Military Families written by Susan M. Gates and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2006 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DoD) supports the largest employer-sponsored system of high-quality child care in the country. Through accredited child development centers (CDCs), family child care (FCC) homes, youth programs, and other before- and after-school programs, the DoD provides care to over 174,000 military children aged 0 through 12 years. To evaluate the system's ability to meet the child care needs of military families, DoD needs information on the magnitude of potential need. For a number of years, the DoD has been using a formula that translates the basic demographic characteristics of the military population into an estimate of the potential need for child care (see the companion monograph Providing Child Care to Military Families: The Role of the Demand Formula in Defining Need and Informing Policy, MG-387-OSD, by Joy S. Moini, Gail L. Zellman, and Susan M. Gates). The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) asked the RAND Corporation to collect data on child care need and child care use, assess the validity of the DoD formula, and recommend improvements to the formula. Data for the assessment came from a 2004 survey of military families about child care issues. This technical report describes and analyzes the data from that survey. It documents survey methods, defines three outcomes of potential interest to DoD (reported child-care usage, unmet child-care need, and unmet child-care preference), presents detailed results of an analysis of these outcomes among military families, and analyzes the relationships between these outcomes and military readiness and retention. For example, the data identified an important relationship between unmet child-care preference and propensity to leave the military: Families that express unmet child-care preference-that is, they are using one form of child care but would prefer another-are also more likely to report that child care issues might drive them to leave the military. This report will be of interest to officials responsible for DoD child-care policy and other quality of life issues. It should also be of interest to child care managers in other federal organizations, child care researchers, and child care policymakers at the national, state, and local levels who grapple with the issue of estimating the need for child care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Office of the Secretary of Defense asked the RAND Corporation to assess the Department of Defense (DoD) child-care demand formula as a tool for translating information on military families into measures of potential child-care need and to suggest ways that the tool might be improved. The authors assess the validity of the DoD formula in meeting child-care needs, analyze the factors that influence key child-care outcomes, and address the broader issue of how DoD can refine its goals for military child care.

Download or read book Improving the Delivery of Military Child Care written by Gail Zellman and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 1992 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was undertaken to identify ways to improve the delivery of Child Development Services on military installations. Interviews with policymakers and visits to military installations revealed that 1) the goals of Child Development Services Systems are multiple and not clearly defined, and consequently do not always translate into practice; 2) demand for child care needs to be more carefully assessed, and decisions about how much child care to provide and to whom should be made; and 3) heavy reliance on Child Development Centers promotes "fair weather" readiness, providing care as long as children are not ill and their parents are working regular hours. Ill children and irregular working hours create significant care gaps. A more systemic approach to the provision of care that addresses inevitable gaps in care should be undertaken.
