Abstract | This guide for parents, child care providers, employers, and community organizations profiles a range of practical approaches to making child care more available and affordable for parents who work non-standard hours. Part one describes why the issue of non-standard hours child care is becoming more important in an economy which is increasingly a 24-hour operation. It draws on a western Idaho case study to illustrate how the mismatch between work schedules and available child care services is affecting the families and employers in one community. Part two profiles a variety of models for expanding the supply of non-standard hours child care, some based in the workplace and others based on the community. The report concludes that solutions to the problem of providing quality, affordable non-standard hours child care must come from many quarters. Three appendices contain lists of contact information on profiled companies and organizations, other companies addressing non-standard hours child care needs, and other sources of information. (AP) |
