“…These are central questions of the national implementation study and are addressed in reports released and yet to be released (DHHS, 1999a(DHHS, , 1999b(DHHS, , 2000. In addition, two studies reported in this issue address this topic (Dickstein, Seifer, Eguia, Kuersten-Hogan, & Magee, 2002;Paulsell et al, 2002). Programs seek to be responsive to changing family needs, but what happens to the staff when programs must change their service delivery models?…”

In just 6 years, Early Head Start has grown from 68 initial grantees to some 650 programs and, by early 2001, was serving more than 55,000 families with infants and toddlers throughout the country. With an increasing share of the federal Head Start budget, Early Head Start is an ambitious effort in which the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) is responding to the "quiet crisis" facing infants and toddlers in this country, as identified by the Carnegie Corporation of New York in its 1994 Starting Points. This overview to the special issue of the journal describes the program, its growth, and the changing policy and program environment of its first 5 years; explains how the federal and regional infrastructure supports Early Head Start through training, technical assistance, and monitoring; summarizes the design and conduct of the national evaluation and local research studies; presents the key lessons that the research has yielded so far; and concludes with an assessment of the challenges that lie ahead for creating a solid base of knowledge for programs serving low-income families with infants and toddlers.RESUMEN: El programa "Early Head Start" se inició otorgando becas y subsidios a 68 programas, y se ha expandido hasta llegar a ayudar a 650 programas que, para principios de 2001, prestaban ayuda a más de 55,000 familias con infantes pequeños por todo el país. Con el incremento de dinero en el presupuesto federal de "Head Start," el programa "Early Head Start" representa un enorme esfuerzo por medio del cual la Oficina para la Administración de Asuntos de los Niños, la Juventud y la Familia (ACYF) responde a la poco conocida crisis a la que se enfrentan los infantes de este país, tal como ha sido identificada por la Corporación Carnegie de Nueva York en su publicación de 1994 Starting Points (Puntos de partida).

The majority of children in the U.S. and many other high-income nations are now cared for many hours per week by people who are neither their parents nor their school teachers. The role of such preschool and out of school care is potentially twofold: First, child care makes it feasible for parents to be employed. Second, early intervention programs and after school programs aim to enhance child development, particularly among disadvantaged children. Corresponding to this distinction, the literature has two branches. The first focuses on the market for child care and analyzes factors affecting the supply, demand, and quality of care. The second focuses on child outcomes and asks whether certain types of programs can ameliorate the effects of early disadvantage. The primary goal of this review is to bring the two literatures together in order to suggest ways that both may be enhanced. Accordingly, we provide an overview of the number of children being cared for in different sorts of arrangements; describe theory and evidence about the nature of the private child care market; and discuss theory and evidence about government intervention in the market for child care. Our summary suggests that additional research is necessary to highlight the ways that government programs and market provided child care interact with each other.
