Abstract | To further understanding of the complex issues regarding the provision of day care services, this paper presents an historical overview of national child care policy in the United States, and discusses the dimensions of working families' need for child care; the central policy issue of the relationship between work and the family; and incentives, including increased productivity, reduced absenteeism, and tax advantages, which encourage certain types of corporations to provide child care for their employees. Subsequent discussion presents New Mexico's involvement with corporate-supported child care and briefly describes conferences which bring together officials from business and government. Major options for child care which have been selected by corporations, and the advantages and disadvantages of each option, are then described. Discussion focuses on multi-business centers, single-business centers, family satellite programs, corporate reserve slots, voucher systems, and information and referral services. Presently, child care reflects the Reagan administration's social policy shift from Federal responsibility to State and private involvement; therefore, several of the issues raised in the paper go beyond child care to address the role of business and employee benefits.
