Abstract	Through state-supported day care programs for employees' children, incentives for industry-supported programs, and careful review of the regulation of child care providers, states are beginning to meet the growing demand for quality child care facilities. In 1984, 34 states considered or adopted changes in policies regulating day care providers. At least six states set up commissions to review day care regulations: Connecticut, Indiana, Maine, Ohio, Texas, and Virginia. At least 15 states require or are considering criminal record checks of day care center employees. Several states have developed programs for school-age child care, and at least six states have tax incentives for businesses providing child care services to employees. Three states (New York, New Jersey, and California) support day care programs for their employees. Finally, Connecticut is considering two grant programs to establish day care programs for state agencies and nonprofit organizations. (RH)
