SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Children’s Develop-
ment Commission Act’’.
SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) The need for quality nursery schools, both
full-time and part-time child care centers and after-
school programs, after school programs, neighbor-
hood-run mothers-day-out programs, and family
child care providers has grown among working par-
ents, and parents who stay at home, who want their
children to have access to early childhood education.
(2) All parents should have access to safe, stim-
ulating, and educational early childhood education
programs for their children, whether such programs
are carried out in a child care center, a part-time
nursery school (including a nursery school operated
by a religious organization), or a certified child care
provider’s home.
(3) The number of available enrollment oppor-
tunities for children to receive quality child care
services is not meeting the demand for such services.
(4) In 1995 there were about 21,000,000 chil-
dren less than 6 years of age, of whom 31 percent
were participating in center-based child care services
and 14 percent were receiving child care in homes.
