The 11 chapters on child care issues are: (1) "Child Care 2000: Five Trends Shaping the Future for Early Childhood Centers" (Roger Neugebauer); (2) "Historical Overview of Child Care" (Alice Sterling Honig); (3) "Child Outcomes of Child Care Programs" (Carollee Howes); (4) "Family-Centered Child Care" (Ellen Galinsky and Bernice Weissbourd); (5) "Meeting the Needs of Special Populations in Child Care" (K. Eileen Allen); (6) "Caring for Children in a Diverse World" (Patricia G. Ramsey); (7) "Family Day Care: The 'Other' Form of Care" (Susan Kontos); (8) "Before- and After-School Child Care for Elementary School Children" (Michelle Seligson and Ellen Gannett, with Lillian Cotlin); (9) "Staffing Issues in Child Care" (Paula Jorde Bloom); (10) "Designing Settings To Support High-Quality Child Care" (Thelma Harms); and (11) "Child Care: A Look To the Future" (Bernard Spodek and Olivia N.
