Influences
of alternative policies that state governments and the federal government
use to improve child-care centers and preschools are assessed based
on a survey of 1,805 centers in 36 states. Center quality is generally
higher in centers receiving greater subsidies. Implications of findings
for policy in managed choice school settings are discussed. (SLD)
