When institutions of society become unable to handle key changes in the rhythms and patterns of human behavior, new institutions need to emerge. Throughout human history, however, despite wars and major political changes, the emergence of our familiar institutions (e.g., family, religion, government, organized economies, and formal education) came slowly, silently, and in coordination with numerous shifts in key arrangements of daily patterns of existence and interaction among individuals. Patterns of employment as well as leisure have drastically shifted family life and community cultures, and the need for new institutional arrangements to care for the young appears increasingly evident to certain decision makers. Acknowledged is the need toprovide extended care for children from families with two working parents or a single parent who works outside the home in at least one job, often with extended hours (and in the United States, without health bene?ts). In addition, the fallout effect of pulling the best and the brightest out of failing impoverished communities is becoming ever evident. Since World War II, the United States, in particular, has stressed access to higher education for all.
