We Can Do Better: 2013 Update

Each week, nearly 11 million children under age 5 are in some type of child care setting for an average of 35 hours. Child care is an essential part of today’s economy. Parents cannot work without child care. While parents work, children need to be in a safe setting that promotes their healthy development.

We Can Do Better: 2013 Update is the fourth in a series of reports first issued in 2007 that scores and ranks the states and the Department of Defense (DoD) on their child care center program requirements and oversight.
