While more than three-quarters of children under 5 likely need some sort of non-parental care arrangement, SILM counties have fewer than 26 licensed child care slots per 100 children under age 5, leaving at least half of area children in largely unregulated care (Figures 3 & 4). Indiana has a voluntary certification option for Child Care Development Fund (CCDF) voucher eligibility that provides a rough equivalent to licensure, but without the full licensing procedure. This fact muddies the waters on our numbers. School based pre-school programs are also exempt from state licensure as they receive accreditation through other means. This means our figures may understate the share of programs meeting some licensure and quality standards. Even with these data caveats, we can see that low supply of quality center-based options constrains access to high quality ECE. (author abstract)
