"Time to Care is the ideal 'go-to' book in child care. It has everything—an historical perspective, a review of demographics and research, an insightful policy perspective, promising practice, and an exciting and viable vision for the future. I very highly recommend this book."—Ellen Galinsky, President, Families and Work Institute, and author of Ask the Children: The Breakthrough Study that Reveals How to Succeed at Work and Parenting
"Time to Care is full of creative and practical ideas about how to invest in and reform America's child care system to make it work better for everybody. Through these ideas, Lombardi powerfully reframes the child care debate as an opportunity for communities and society, not just a crisis confronting overwhelmed families. This wonderfully clear and engaging book will motivate and educate parents, citizen advocates and policymakers alike to get busy securing America's future."—J. Lawrence Aber, Ph.D., Director, National Center for Children in Poverty, Columbia University
"Time to Care provides a strong vision of how quality child care can contribute to the education of children and the support of their families."—Helen Blank, Director, Child Care and Development, Children's Defense Fund
