This article focuses on the education of children, and how much child care support various countries provide for families.

Britain has a child care policy offering families free care for 15 hours a week per week meaning that nearly all three year olds are enrolled in early childhood education. Compare this to the US and figures from 2016 show that under 40% of three year olds are enrolled.
