Financing Universal Early Care and Education for America's Children - April 2004 In the Financing Universal Early Care and Education for America's Children project, we have analyzed alternative methods of paying for high quality care. This entailed applying financing lessons from other near-universal social benefits, and developing a multi-component simulation model to estimate costs and impacts of alternative financing approaches, featuring dynamic estimates of parental choices regarding care and employment. The simulation model has allowed policy makers and analysts to obtain comparative costs of care, and distribution of benefits, under different policy scenarios regarding the qualifications and compensation of staff, and the structure and eligibility features of various mechanisms for assisting families and providers.

Lau v.
