Child Care and Domestic Violence
Domestic violence rarely has only one victim. Children under age five are more likely to live in a household where domestic violence occurs than are children in any other age category. Child care providers and early childhood programs have an unique opportunity to make a difference in the life of a child who is affected by violence and help families in crisis.RESOURCES
