Relationships between Early Childhood Groups in Three States

WILLIAM M. BRIDGELAND

MARK E. STERN

The state-level services arena for the young child has been subjected to little systematic study, especially that focused on early childhood policy people themselves. Using analysis from state kindergarten through twelfth grade educational policymaking, the present effort focuses on the interaction patterns among key policy groups in three states: Michigan, California, and New York. Respondents include people within state agencies, nonagency governmental people, and early childhood specialists. The findings suggest that agency and interest groups are cooptative and that proprietary child care providers are the most active participants in policymaking.
