Description:
This is one of a series of four issue briefs that address CCDBG Act of 2014 requirements and provide state examples and links to state Web sites that can serve as examples for States and Territories in enhancing their own consumer education efforts. These briefs were developed based on several regional webinars and meetings that focused on consumer education. State Web Sites Consumers increasingly rely on the internet to research their purchases, and the search for child care is no different. State Web sites differ considerably in the scope and content of the information provided, as well as the degree to which the Web site is consumer-friendly and easy to access and navigate. Many States post information directed to parents on state agency Web sites, CCR&R Web sites, and, when applicable, the QRIS Web site. The following table provides links to state Web sites that, to varying degrees, help parents evaluate and choose child care and access additional family support services. The other issue briefs in this series provide descriptions of state Web sites that address these topics in greater detail. (author abstract)
