This study provides an in-depth examination of experiences with the Employment-Related Day Care (ERDC) program. The study aim was to identify common experiences and appraisals from parents, providers, and Department of Human Services (ODHS) eligibility workers from across the state, with an emphasis on recruiting rural and Eastern Oregon participants who are often underrepresented in research. Further, recognizing that experiences can vary by type of care, recruitment also targeted four types of care: center, large (Certified Family) home, small (Registered Family) home, and legally exempt (Regulated Subsidy and Relative) providers. Finally, parents’ experiences also vary widely. Therefore, we targeted recruitment to hear perspectives from parents with different types of experiences with ERDC: parents who were currently using ERDC, those who left, and those who completed the eligibility process but did not use ERDC. This report shares the experiences of 30 individuals. (author abstract)
