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).
