N2  - Aspects of the French child-care system are described and contrasted with aspects of child care in the U.S. in order to stimulate discussion of child-care standards. French child care is characterized by highly trained and reasonably compensated teachers. These teachers work within classrooms with group sizes and adult: child ratios considered excessive by U.S. standards. The quality of child care under such conditions is explored.<p />
