Book:
Schools of the 21st Century: Linking Child Care
and Education (Renewing American Schools)
by
Matia Finn-Stevenson,
Edward Zigler
(from the book cover)
In this timely book, Matia Finn-Stevenson and
Edward Zigler argue that the federal government
alone cannot address the need for child care and
family support services. They use their Schools
of the 21st Century program as an example of how
schools can provide child care, outreach services,
home visitations, and health and nutrition services
- in addition to reading, writing and arithmetic.
Included is a wealth of information on the research
and practical applications of school reform initiatives
in general and the implementation of child and
family support services.

much do children's early experiences affect their
cognitive and social development? ... The

also for strengthening families, communities, and
the nation as a whole. Written by experts in the
field of early child development, care, and education,
the book is essential reading for parents and policymakers
alike.
