This brief provides key insights into the early care and learning practices, needs and perceptions of Vermont households with children under age six years. We use data from the 2018 Vermont Early Care and Education Household Survey, which was sponsored by Building Bright Futures (BBF) and conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago. Altogether, 583 households participated in the state-representative survey via a web-based questionnaire. We explore three main topics: - What are households' current early care and learning (ECL) arrangements for children not yet in kindergarten? - What are parents' perceptions and preferences for ECL? - What factors can constrain parental choices?
