25 assessment measurements to analyze the various types of child
26 care needs, including but not limited to: child care homes;
27 child care facilities; before and after school care; and

31 various geographic locations. The plan shall include, but
32 not be limited to, the special needs of parents and guardians
33 in need of non-traditional child care services such as early
34 mornings, evenings, and weekends; the needs of very low
SB373 Enrolled -12- LRB9201644SMdv
