Child Care in America Today

Introduction

For America to participate fully in the 21st-century global economy, it needs to think of child care as both a workforce support for parents and early education for young children.

Child Care in America: 2013 State Fact Sheets is useful to child care advocates, policymakers and program administrators as they make decisions about child care programs and expenditures. It provides the data to better understand America’s working families and the circumstances families face as they balance working to support their families with providing their children with child care that is safe, healthy and promotes early learning.

This annual report uses federal and national data and information from state Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R) agencies and other state agencies to look at:

» Family characteristics related to the need for child care.

» The use of child care.

» The supply of child care.

» The cost of child care.

» The child care workforce.

» Services provided by CCR&Rs.

The first section documents the need for and use of child care on a national level. The second section lists facts about individual states, including the District of Columbia.

The Child Care Pattern and Supply

Every week in the United States, nearly 11 million children younger than age 5 whose mothers are working are in some type of child care arrangement. On average, these children spend 36 hours a week in child care. Almost 3 million (27 percent) of these children are in multiple child care arrangements so their parents can meet their need for child care during traditional and nontraditional working hours.1

The Cost of Child Care

Child Care Aware® of America asked CCR&Rs for 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.

The average annual cost of full-time care for an infant in center-based care ranges from about $4,850 in Mississippi to $16,450 in Massachusetts. For an infant in a family child care home the cost ranges from about $3,950 in Mississippi to $11,050 in New York.

For a 4-year-old, center-based care ranges from about $4,300 in Mississippi to $12,350 in Massachusetts. Care in a family child care home for a 4-year-old ranges from about $3,700 in Mississippi to about $10,250 in Massachusetts.

In the United States, almost 60 percent of the cost of child care is assumed by parents.2 The percentage is much higher for middle-income families.

Annually, more than $10 billion in government money is spent by the states for child care. For the most part, public funding for child care comes from the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG), the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, the Social Services Block Grant (SSBG or Title XX) and state funds.

CCDBG is the primary source of federal funds for child care, and states have wide discretion about how to spend this money. The regulations that govern CCDBG spending were originally written in 1998. In May 2013, the Office of Child Care in the Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services proposed amending the regulations. The new rules would strengthen health and safety requirements, improve quality and expand accountability measures in programs that accept children funded through CCDBG.

Anecdotal evidence from CCR&Rs across the country shows families are struggling with the costs of child care. Unlike the mortgage or the cost of utilities, child care expenses are one area where parents feel they can economize – and hope that their children’s future will not be sacrificed.

The Child Care Workforce

Approximately 2.2 million individuals earn a living caring for children under age 5.

Like many service industries, approximately 80 percent of the cost in a child care program is for payroll and payroll-related expenses. Despite their tremendous responsibilities, the average income for a full-time child care professional in 2012 was only $21,310, making child care one of the lowest paying professional fields.3

It is hard to recruit child care professionals who have education credentials when compensation is so low. In addition, more than half of the states do not require any education beyond high school.

» 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.

The Quality of Child Care

Over the past seven years, Child Care Aware® of America has reviewed and scored state licensing regulations for child care centers and small family child care homes. The 2013 report about state laws, policies and oversight for child care centers shows that state requirements were minimal. The average score out of 150 points was 92, 61 percent of all possible points.4 The 2012 report about state laws, policies and oversight for small family child care homes found states earned an average of 69, only 46 percent of all available points.5

We cannot say with confidence that America’s children are protected by state licensing and oversight systems. Nor can we say that child care policies are in place to help young children learn and be ready for school. Child Care Aware® of America supports the efforts at the federal level to improve the quality of child care in America.

Children Suffer because of Low Licensing Requirements

Quality child care is important to the healthy development of children. During the critical years of birth through age 5, essential learning patterns are established that affect children’s school-readiness and their future productivity.

Decades of research indicate the quality of child care has a lasting impact. A National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) report found that children who received high-quality care in the first few years of life scored higher in measures of academic and cognitive achievement when they were 15 years old and were less likely to misbehave than those who were enrolled in lower quality child care. Even 10 years after children left child care, experiences in quality settings were still related to higher academic achievement.6

Conversely, poor quality care has a negative impact on children’s futures, and the negative effects of low-quality child care may be worse for low-income children than for children from higher-income families.7 It is sobering that a recent report found that 75 percent of young Americans ages 17-24 (26 million) cannot join the U.S. military – most often because they are poorly educated, involved in crime, or physically unfit.8

Methodology: Early in 2013, 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. For school-age, CCR&Rs reported on the price of before- and after-school care for a nine-month school year. We defined child care centers as all center-based programs, including Head Start programs, state-funded prekindergarten, license-exempt, school-based, etc. Information about school-age-only programs was asked in a separate question. 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.

Additional national and state data were gathered in the spring of 2013 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 2012 were adjusted by the Consumer Price Index; i.e., reported in 2012 dollars, using the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index Inflation Calculator. National totals are rounded estimates.

All missing information is reported as “NR”. Alabama and Pennsylvania did not respond to our survey. In those two states, the number of programs and cost of care data were pulled from our 2012 survey and were adjusted for inflation where applicable.

Summary: In every state, child care can be hard to find, difficult to afford and is often of mediocre quality. State licensing standards vary greatly, making it difficult for families to ensure that children are safe and learning while in child care.
