National Database of Childcare Prices
The National Database of Childcare Prices will collect data on the following topics. The information requested for this database may have been collected as part of the state’s Market Rate Survey used to develop the Child Care and Development Fund Plan or published in the state’s child care Market Rate Survey report. If your state does not have all of the data elements requested, please submit as many data elements as you have available, including any reports that use cost-based alternative methodologies.
We are interested in all Market Rate Survey data you have available for these data elements between 2019 and 2022. If your state did not conduct data collection at the county level, please contact [contact name, email, number] for assistance. We appreciate your help in making this the most complete and accessible database on child care prices for all counties in the United States.
