Aside from the pure economics issues confronting today's parents whose children require care, there are larger qualitative concerns, such as avoiding childcare establishments with abusive or incompetent personnel, unsafe facilities and/or non-existent enrichment. Produced as part of the Better Business Bureau's video series and endorsed by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) accreditation group, Who's Minding the Children? is an excellent program that offers advice on finding recommended local daycare centers, evaluating facilities, and asking the right questions. Several website links and toll-free numbers for groups such as the NAEYC, Child Care Aware (a consumer-based hotline), and the BBB web site (with its downloadable daycare inspection questionnaires) are also included in this informative, comprehensive tape. Highly recommended, especially for those without similar fare such as Finding Quality Childcare (VL-3/96). Editor's Choice. Aud: P. (R. Reagan)
