The Mississippi Department of Human Services (MDHS) Division of Early Childhood Care and Development (DECCD) contracted with the Early Years Network (EYN) housed within the School of Human Sciences at Mississippi State University (MSU) to conduct the 2016 Market Rate Survey. This report is a final report; it contains all survey information collected from an online survey that was sent to child care centers and family child care centers statewide. The objective of the Market Rate Survey is to gather and report on the rates charged to the general public (or the "market rate") for child care across the state of Mississippi. A market rate survey assesses both the prices charged by providers in the child care market. All states are required to conduct market rate surveys triennially, however the method and design of collecting such information is left to the discretion of each individual state. Analysis of the MRS responses indicates that 840 respondents chose to provide at least some information in the first portion of the survey which captured provider tuition information. Further analysis of this section is included in Appendix A. The scope of the 2016 MRS was increased to account for not only market rate, but also provider cost -- a strategy which is supported by language in the CCDBG (658(c)(4)(B)) authorizing alternative methodologies or cost estimation models. DECCD added a section to the 2016 MRS to collect information regarding costs incurred by the provider for the provision of child care. DECCD believed that the consideration of provider cost in addition to the market rate would allow for a more thorough assessment of the reimbursement system and would inform any decision to change reimbursement rates that support equal access to child care services among subsidy recipients. DECCD was interested to know if providers set their rates based on subsidy reimbursement rather than the actual cost of providing care. (author abstract)
