This report, the second in a three-volume study evaluating federally-supported day care in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, contains two sections: one examines the current level of day care services in the four states in relation to the proposed federal day care requirements; the other describes the structure of the individual state administering agencies and their capacity to administer their day care programs. A sample of various day care settings was surveyed in each state to determine the level of compliance with the proposed standards. The major areas of noncompliance are identified with an overview description of day care quality in each state. Descriptions are of the administering agency of each state and its licensing and monitoring practices, as well as the views of day care providers toward the federal, state, and local requirements are provided.
