Many families now need child care during nontraditional hours (NTH). Understanding the types of child care those families use for their young children has become a growing concern for policymakers interested in supporting the types of child care that meets families’ needs.

To answer policy-relevant questions about nontraditional-hour child care, we analyzed data from the 2019 public use National Survey of Early Care and Education (NSECE). (author abstract)
