La. Stat. tit. 46 § 1442
Current with changes from the 2024 Legislative Session
The legislature finds that the development of intergenerational child care programs is desirable and should be encouraged and fostered by the state. The number of elderly in the state has increased dramatically in the past decade. The elderly represent a largely untapped and growing community resource. Encouraging the elderly to work in child care provides an opportunity to address many difficult problems, including generational isolation, unemployment among the elderly, and a shortage of workers for child care positions. Therefore, it is the intent of the legislature to provide for the development of intergenerational child care programs.
