Financing Child Development Programs
Three methods of financing child development programs include family
payments, sponsored programs, and government support (in the form of tax
supported initiatives on the federal, state, and local levels). State
supported preschool is a well-known tax supported
initiative aimed at making publicly funded programs available to all 3-
and 4-year-olds on a voluntary basis (as opposed to being mandated).
