      "title": "Child Care: The Federal Role During World War II",
      "summary": "During World War II, the federal government supported a nationwide program of child care\ncenters,\nintended to boost war production by freeing mothers to work. Labor force participation of women\ngrew significantly during the war, and children of working mothers were eligible for the child care\nservice. The centers had a peak enrollment near 130,000 children in 1944. After the federal subsidy\nended in February 1946, California, New York City and Philadelphia were the only locations to use\npublic funds to continue child care programs indefinitely. This report describes federal child care\ninitiatives during World War II, and briefly traces the evolution of federal child care policy from the\npostwar period until today. This report will not be updated.",
