Description:
Child care prices vary across the state, with three types of markets for small home-based care and four types of markets for centers and large home-based care. CCR&R data continues to provide a reliable and cost-effective source of data for statewide market price studies. Prices should continue to be reported for both child care facilities and slots. Analysis should be based on slots since this most accurately represents what families experience when purchasing care.
CCR&Rs should continue to collect price information in the mode(s) that reflect how facilities charge. Analysis of the predominant mode (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly) used by facilities to charge parents identified hourly as the most common mode for small home-based care and monthly for center and large home-based care.
