This research brief provides a summary of findings from a survey of parents in Maryland conducted in the fall of 2020 to examine child care needs, access, continuity, and costs for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children during the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey was distributed to families receiving child care scholarships and to families with children enrolled in licensed child care in Maryland. This parent survey was conducted on behalf of the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) by researchers at Child Trends as part of the Maryland Child Care Policy Research Partnership funded by the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation, Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
