Extractions: Gaps Analysis Report - October, 2001 Child care is an important service to working parents in the community.

Licensed providers must meet state requirements in order to provide healthy, safe, positive care for children during the hours that their parents are not able to provide care. Licensing ensures that providers have passed a fire inspection and criminal record check. Licensed providers are also required to attend child care related training annually.

NECTAC:Child Care Licensing Regulations Print this page child care licensing Regulations. Little or No Reference toChildren With Special Needs Found in child care licensing Regulations 1. http://www.nectac.org/topics/inclusion/meetings/rs_ccregs.asp
Extractions: A content analysis of child care licensing regulations was recently conducted to determine the extent to which regulations include provisions for children with special needs. Policy documents from the child care licensing agencies in four case study states were reviewed. Reviewers targeted requirements for child care centers in the areas of admission policy; adaptation of centers' physical environment, schedules and activities; special training for caregivers; consultation with specialists, and participation on a team of specialists for children with special needs. These efforts are part of a larger study that examined the relationship between state licensing regulations for child care and recommended practices for quality. Funded by the Office of Education Research and Improvement, the purpose of this research is to increase our knowledge and understanding of barriers to quality in early care and education settings, particularly as they relate to children's readiness for school. Analysis of child care regulations in four case study states examines policy barriers that may contribute to poor quality child care. The recent Cost, Quality and Child Outcomes (1995) research concluded that quality care is a key factor in promoting positive developmental outcomes for children. Research conducted in the four case study states found that children in higher quality care scored higher on tests of cognitive, language, and social development, while those in poorer quality care scored less well. Children considered to be "at risk" for school failure were particularly affected by quality of care. These findings withstood statistically modeling that controlled for factors that typically contribute to children's performance, including mothers' education and socio-economic status (Cost, Quality and Child Outcomes Study Team, 1995).

That special legal relationship is described in state law in Title 47, Chapter 10, Section 84 of the Alaska Statutes: This relationship imposes on the department the responsibility of physical care and control of the child, the determination of where and with whom the child shall live, the right and duty to protect, nurture, train, and discipline the child, the duty of providing the child with food, shelter, education, and medical care, and the right and responsibility to make decisions of financial significance concerning the child.
