Description

Using Philadelphia as a case study, this book explores the history of day-care from the perspective of families who used it. It traces day-care's transformation from a charity for poor single mothers in the early 20th century to a legitimate and culturally accepted social need for ordinary families, and a potential responsibility of government by the 1950s.
