Abstract

The recommendations of four groups in setting day care center licensing policy are compared. An examination is made of the recommendations of day care center operators, staff, parents, and licensers on three sets of variables: a proposal for the state to no longer license day care centers, the number of licensing inspection visits required each year, and five categories of child/staff ratios. Only partial support is found for the hypothesis that the four day care interest groups differ in their recommendations. A distinction is made between statistically significant and practically significant differences. The findings are discussed in relation to their implications for setting day care licensing standards.
