A national portrait of unlisted home-based child care providers: Caregiving histories, motivations, and professional engagement

Description:

 In 2019, more than 5 million providers cared for one or more children either in their own home or in a child’s home. Home-based child care (HBCC) providers are a varied group that includes both listed providers and unlisted providers who do and do not receive payment. HBCC is especially prevalent in communities of color, communities with high concentrations of people from immigrant backgrounds, areas of concentrated poverty, and rural communities. Yet, research on HBCC lags behind research on center-based child care and early education (CCEE), and the least is known about unlisted providers who do not appear on state or national provider lists and work outside the formal systems supporting CCEE programs. Using the 2019 National Survey of Early Care and Education (NSECE), this brief focuses on unlisted providers’ caregiving histories, motivations, and recent experiences with professional supports.
