2 0 1 6 S t a t e Fa c t S h e e t s Child Care in America:

Every week in the United States, child care providers care for nearly 11

million children younger than age 5 whose parents are working. On

average, these children spend 36 hours a week in child care, and one

quarter (nearly 3 million) are in multiple child care arrangements due to

the traditional and nontraditional working hours of their parents.1

Research has continually illustrated the importance of quality early

experiences in achieving good health, especially within the most

vulnerable populations. Families, child care providers and state and

federal policymakers share responsibility for the safety and wellbeing

of children while they are in child care settings. Basic state

requirements and oversight help lay the foundation necessary to

protect children and promote their healthy development while in child

care.

The Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) program

serves approximately 1.45 million children annually in communities

across the country. CCDBG is the primary federal grant program that

provides child care assistance for families and funds child care quality

initiatives. Funds are administered to states in formula block grants,

and states use the grants to subsidize child care for low-income

working families.

In November 2014, President Barack Obama signed S.1086, the Child

Care and Development Block Grant Act of 2014 into law. The new law

includes several measures focused on quality, including requiring

states to:

 Promote quality child care by increasing activities to improve the care, enhancing states’ ability to train providers and develop safer and more effective child care services.

 Strengthen health and safety requirements in child care programs and providers.

 Improve access to child care by expanding eligibility for participating families and helping families connect with quality programs that meet their needs by enhancing consumer education, providing greater options for quality child care and working to ensure continuity of care, essential for both the well- being and stability of a child.2

With the new federal child care measures set to take effect, states are

rapidly building, evaluating, and changing their early care and

education quality focused systems (Quality Rating and Improvement

System (QRIS), professional development, licensing and standards).

Implementation of the new regulations must align with these efforts for

sustainability and maximum impact.

Over the past several years, Child Care Aware® of America has

surveyed and conducted focus groups with parents of young children,

grandparents, national child advocacy organizations, and state and

local Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R) agencies. Those

conversations underscored that child care is an essential building block

of any community and that investments in child care are investments in

our children, our economy, and our future. Child care plays an

important role in the economy, helping to generate 15 million jobs and

more than $500 billion in income annually.3 Families need child care so

that they can work, go to school, and/or receive workforce training, and

children need a safe place to be where they can learn and thrive.

The cost of child care in every state rivals families’ annual expenditures on

housing, transportation and the cost of tuition at a four-year, public

university. Further, in 38 states, the cost of infant care exceeds 10 percent

of the state’s median income for a two-parent family.4

Recent focus groups done by Child Care Aware® of America suggest that

parents are trading off the nice-to-haves, including coverage that fits their

schedules, against cost. Costs are high even for two parent families, and

some families are making the decision to have one parent leave their job

and stay home since the additional paycheck would just go directly to cover

child care.5

Annually, states spend more than $10 billion in government money for

child care. For the most part, public funding for child care comes from

the CCDBG, the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)

program, the Social Services Block Grant (SSBG or Title XX) and state

funds. Even so, parents assume almost 60 percent of the cost of child

care, and the percentage is even higher for middle income families.

For several years now, Child Care Aware® of America has surveyed

CCR&Rs to gather current information about the average cost of child care

in child care centers and family child care homes for infants, 4-year-old

children and school-age children. Our 2015 Cost of Care report indicated

that the average annual cost of full-time care for an infant in center-based

care ranges from $4,822 in Mississippi to $17,062 in Massachusetts. For

an infant in a family child care home the cost ranges from $3,972 in

Mississippi to $10,666 in Massachusetts. For a 4-year-old, center-based

care ranges from $3,997 in Mississippi to $12,781 in Massachusetts. Care

in a family child care home for a 4-year-old ranges from $3,675 in

Mississippi to $10,030 in Alaska. 6

While many families are able to take advantage of child care subsidies

offered by state and federal organizations, there is not enough funding to

cover all need. In fact, Child Care Aware® of America estimates that child

care assistance funds reach fewer than 18 percent of eligible children.

Families who earn between $25,000 and $50,000 annually are among

those who stand to benefit most from increased and expanded subsidy

support for child care, as these families tend not to be eligible for subsidies,

and therefore rely on unlicensed, unsafe or unreliable care.

Parents also rely on federal tax credits—for both families and

employers—to help pay for child care. However, available tax credits

are piecemeal, vary significantly from state to state, and provide an

average benefit of only $550 per year – well short of average child care

costs. Further, benefits such as the Dependent Care Tax Credit

(DCTC) are not available for parents who attend school part-time,

which means that parents who both work and attempt to improve their

economic condition through furthering their education are unable to

receive additional support, thus fostering an unending cycle of poverty.

Early, quality child care provides a solid foundation for children’s academic

and behavioral success. For instance, research has demonstrated that

children and families who attend Early Head Start programs fare better

than their peers in several domains; however, Early Head Start is

underfunded and can only serve four percent of eligible children.7

Vulnerable populations, in particular, struggle to gain access to quality early

child care due to barriers such as lack of transportation options and

irregular work schedules. Many communities face shortages of licensed

quality child care; these areas are known as child care deserts. Low-

income and rural communities and neighborhoods are especially likely to

lack high-quality child care facilities. Rural communities have unique needs

and challenges far different from urban settings. For example, the majority

of Hispanics live in rural settings.8 The lack of licensed child care, long

travel distances to work sites, lack of public transportation and irregularity of

work schedules reduce child care options available for rural families as

well. Investments in child care expansion thus help to ensure that children

have access to safe learning environments and that parents are able to

contribute to the local economy.

Existing child care centers in underserved areas must work to address

these issues by expanding child care hours and working with state and

federal agencies to secure access for all families. Without these measures,

families may be forced to rely on unlicensed care providers that may not be

able to provide the emotional and academic support children need in order

to be school-ready by the time they enter Kindergarten.

Children in unlicensed care may not be protected by regulations

concerning physical activity time, developmental screening practices or

food safety guidelines. In fact, studies show that children of color,

English language learners and low income families benefit greatly from

quality child care, yet they are the least likely to gain access to high-

quality early care and education.9

While the new CCDBG reauthorization in 2014 calls for stronger

health, safety and quality measures, it remains to be seen how

implementation of these measures will unfold. Thus, child care

assistance is an important two generation strategy that helps parents

and their children simultaneously.

Though the exact definition of quality child care evolves with new

research, experts agree on some general characteristics that enrich

early childhood environments, including:

 Low child/teacher ratios.

 Small group size.

 Professional development opportunities for workforce.

 Positive provider/child interactions.

 Accreditation or high licensing standards.

 Age appropriate activities.

 Family engagement.

 Good health and safety practices.

Quality Rating Information Systems (QRIS) at the state and local level

are one way to track quality in child care settings. As of May 2016,

however, QRIS implementations across states vary widely in status,

from county- and locality-based systems in California to a pilot program

in Alabama to full state-wide implementation in states such as Texas

and Massachusetts. Many states, including Connecticut and Wyoming,

are still in planning stages without any kind of QRIS system

implementation.10

Investments in high-quality early education generate returns of over $8

for every $1 spent.11 The science is clear: there are long-term positive

outcomes for children who begin learning from birth, and for 15 million

children in America each week, the child care setting is an opportunity

to learn and set healthy habits for life. Decades of research emphasize

that quality child care has a lasting positive impact, particularly for

children from low-income homes.12 13 14

Approximately 2.2 million individuals earn a living caring for children

under age 5. The early care and education landscape remains fairly

complex, with programs offered in a variety of settings, designed to

accommodate varying traditions and cultures, funded through multiple

sources, and subjected to disparate regulations. In addition, more than

half of the states only require that licensed child care providers

possess a high school diploma.

 Thirty-one states require a high school diploma or less for

child care center lead teachers.

 Forty-one states require a high school diploma or less for

regulated family child care providers.15

Currently, there is national momentum to promote agreement on core

knowledge and competencies for child care educators. In 2015, the

Institute of Medicine (IOM) and the National Research Council (NRC)

published a major study16 about the child care and education

workforce. Given what scientists know about how the brain develops

and about how children learn, the authors then asked, is critical brain

science being applied in child care settings? Their answer was no, and

that 1) the care and education workforce is under-respected and

under-trained, and 2) an overhaul of our nation’s child care systems is

urgently needed.

The IOM study describes the current status of the country's child care

systems as “fragmented.” The use of the word systems (plural) is

intentional, as there is no single entity that governs and no single set of

standards that applies to all early childhood education. Within child

care itself, there are many systems with inconsistent standards for how

child care settings are staffed, licensed (if at all), and operated. These

include inconsistencies in educational and training requirements,

licensing standards, and funding support and related quality

requirements. If you add other early childhood education settings to the

equation, the inconsistencies among standards and systems grow

even larger.

Not surprisingly, it is difficult to recruit credentialed child care

professionals when compensation is so low. To be clear, despite the

labor-intensive costs of running a child care business, according to a

new report by the Economic Policy Institute,17 most child care workers

live in poverty. Like many service industries, approximately 80 percent

of the cost in a child care program is for payroll and payroll related

expenses. Despite tremendous responsibilities, the average income for

a full-time early child care worker in 2015 was just $10.72 an hour,

putting the wages of child care workers below those of 97 percent of all

occupations in the American economy.18

Almost 15% of child care workers live below the poverty line, and a

third have incomes that are below twice the poverty line. Early

childhood education teachers are half as likely as general employees

to be offered health insurance coverage, and only 24 percent of

employers in the field offer retirement plans.19 The gap becomes even

more pronounced when college degrees are taken into consideration, 15 Data are provided by the State CCR&R Network and are derived from CCR&R data or are

with early childhood education workers earning only one-third of the

average income of other workers in the country. Further, while the

number of immigrant workers in the field of early childhood education

has tripled since 1990, these workers are significantly more likely to

live below the poverty line than their native counterparts.20

Not surprisingly, many child care workers are unable to afford child

care for their own families. According to Child Care Aware® of

America’s 2015 calculations, in every state, child care workers would

need to spend over 80 percent of their income in order to afford center-

based child care for two children. According to the US Department of

Health and Human Services’ standard of affordable care, there is no

state in which early childhood education employees’ average earnings

are high enough to meet the standard as compared to the average

cost of child care.21 Further, in six states plus D.C., over 100 percent of

the median child care worker's income is required to put two children in

center-based care.22 Furthermore, there is little to no support from the

government for families working in early childhood education, with

nearly half of all early childhood education employees living in families

eligible for programs such as TANF and SNAP.23 24

Major research studies have found correlation between higher wages

or higher teacher education levels with quality of child care,

emphasizing the importance of attracting and maintaining a talented

workforce. Consistent, stable relationships with adults are especially

impactful in childhood development, making increased investment in

compensation for the providers who work with children very important.

In addition, early childhood education workers who are paid higher

wages express lower levels of economic worry, allowing them to

provide more nurturing, warm and stress-free care for children.25

To date, sustained investments in child care providers—both through

compensation and training—have not been sufficient to ensure that all

providers, including those who receive federal reimbursement for their

services, meet even minimal quality standards. It’s important that

education is adequate to ensure optimal child outcomes, and that

compensation is appropriate for the level of education achieved.

Child care centers and homes in the United States must be prepared

to serve an ever changing and increasingly diverse group. The

expansive growth of this demographic highlights the need for settings

that consider the language and culture of the children being served.

Children of refugees and immigrants now account for 25 percent of the

23 million children under the age of 6, compared to 14 percent in 1990.

States like California, Texas, New York, Florida, and Illinois account for

half of the number of children in immigrant families. Research has

shown that these young children, especially dual language learners,

benefit from quality child care. 26

Unfortunately, poor-quality care has negative impacts on development,

especially for low-income and minority children. Young children of

immigrants, African-American and Latino children are less likely to access

quality child care programs.2728According to a March 2014 U.S.

Department of Education report, boys and African American children are

disproportionately expelled or suspended from early care and education

programs. For preschool programs outside state prekindergarten systems,

the rates were far higher. Thirty-nine percent of child care providers

reported at least one expulsion in the past year, an expulsion rate more

than 13 times higher than in children in K-12 schools.29

Although the early childhood education workforce is currently relatively

diverse, it is far from matching the diversity of children in the US, and

maintaining and growing this diversity in the workforce is extremely

important. Children from minority groups benefit from working with

teachers and caregivers from similar linguistic, racial or ethnic

backgrounds.30 In addition, children benefit from exposure to educators

and caregivers from diverse backgrounds at an early age as they

develop early perceptions of social categories.31

To remain competitive in the 21st-century global economy, the United

States must recognize the value of child care as an investment in early

childhood education and as a support system for working families.

Early in 2016, Child Care Aware® of America surveyed State CCR&R

Networks and other CCR&Rs and asked questions about child care

capacity, requests for referrals, training and technical assistance

provided by CCR&Rs and the average price for full time care child care

centers and family child care homes for three age groups. CCR&Rs

work with parents, child care providers and local and state

governments within communities in every state to strengthen the

quality of care and are uniquely positioned to provide this data. This

year, for school-age care, CCR&Rs reported on the price of care for a

nine-month programs, full-year programs, and summer programs. We

defined child care centers as all center-based child care providers,

including Head Start programs, license-exempt programs, school-

based programs and state-funded prekindergarten.

Additional national and state data were gathered in the spring of 2016

from the American Community Survey, U.S. Census Bureau; the Office

of Child Care, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; the

Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor; and the College

Board Annual Survey of Colleges.

For some states, the cost of care was derived from the latest market

rate survey available. Rates based on information collected prior to

2015 were adjusted by the Consumer Price Index (i.e., reported in

2015 dollars using the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price

Index Inflation Calculator). National totals are rounded estimates. All

missing information is reported as “NR” (Not Reported). Alabama, DC,

Michigan, New Jersey and South Carolina did not respond to our

survey. In these states, cost of care data was pulled from our 2015

survey and adjusted for inflation where applicable.

Ensuring that all children have access to high quality and affordable

early childhood programs is essential; however, in every state, this

type of care can be hard to find and difficult to afford. Although the

reauthorization of the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act

has raised the floor for health and safety standards and encourages

quality programming for all child care settings, there is still much work

to be done. In particular, researchers have identified the education and

training of child care providers as one of the most important

components of a quality child care setting.

Quality child care benefits everyone: it promotes positive

developmental outcomes for children and allows parents to pursue

their own education and career goals, eventually increasing their

earning potential and their contribution to the economy. To improve the

state of U.S. child care nationally, we MUST work together to find

meaningful solutions that support working families and their children.
