Abstract	The case for public school administration of federally-funded early childhood and day care services and an action plan for promoting it are presented in this manual prepared by the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) Task Force on Educational Issues. Arguments in support of an AFT-proposed amendment to the Child and Family Services Act under Congressional consideration are based on a national need for expansion of day care, coinciding with recent public school staff surpluses and under-utilization of space. Growing child care needs of working women and single parents are cited. In the discussion of advantages of public school sponsorship, it is claimed that the overall picture of the field is one of inadequate services. Deficiencies in existing facilities are described, as well as inadequate training and certification procedures and shortcommings of profit-making programs. Public school prime sponsorship is seen as simplifying administrative needs and promoting general accessibility. Related issues discussed include: costs of providing early childhood and day care programs; recommended standards for teacher education, certification and training; and parent involvement and education.
