Child Care Policy

Child care policy refers to the rules and guidelines set by governments and organizations to support the care, education, and welfare of children, especially those under the age of five. This includes funding for child care services, standards for early childhood education, and parental leave policies. The goal is to ensure children receive quality care while their parents work or study, promoting healthy development and equal access for all families. Effective child care policy can help reduce poverty, increase workforce participation, and support early learning, contributing to a stronger economy and society.
