Abstract	This report presents data on daytime care arrangements for children aged 3 to 13 of working and non-working mothers. Presented by age, race and school enrollment of the child, marital status of the mother and family income, data were collected through two surveys: one of day care arrangements for children aged 3 to 6 and another for children aged 7 to 13. About one half the report consists of statistical tables and charts. Data indicate that, of the approximately 41 million children aged 3 to 13 in the United States about 33 million are usually cared for by a parent while not in school. For the additional eight million, other arrangements are made for daytime care. The most common arrangement is care in the child's home by a relative, with 2.1 million children aged 3 to 13 cared for in this way. An additional 1.8 million (mostly in the 7 to 13 age group) care for themselves. Fairly small proportions are taken to an outside home for care, either to a relative or non-relative (about 1.2 million to each), or to a day care center (326,000). The use of a day care center is thus the least often reported child care arrangement in the United States, involving approximately 2 per cent of children aged 3 to 6. Approximately two-fifths of all children from 3 to 13 years of age have working mothers, with three-fifths of these reported under parent care when not in school. Type of care provided for grade school children was found to vary only slightly by income level of the family. (BF)
