Excerpt from abstract:
Noting that current programs for young children outside the home lack a comprehensive infrastructure or support system to stand behind the delivery of services to the child and family, this paper proposes the development of a support infrastructure designed to provide continuing and effective assistance to those who work with young children.
The paper notes that a support system for early childhood services would include the following components:
(1) personnel preparation
(2) technical assistance
(3) applied research and program evaluation
(4) communication
(5) demonstration
(6) data systems
(7) comprehensive planning
(8) coordination of support elements
