Caring for Our Children Basics

Caring for Our Children Basics has fallen off the radar screen when it comes to monitoring, regulatory compliance and standards development in early care and education (ECE).   This is a very important set of standards that has distilled the most critical  standards from several significant national documents.  ACF had intended its use as a basic voluntary set of standards for all ECE programs.  I really don’t want state licensing administrators to lose sight of this document as they think through and revise their state ECE rules/regulations.
