The Minnesota Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) provides subsidies to help low-income families pay for child care while parents are working, looking for work, or attending school. The program can help make quality child care affordable and is intended both to support employment for low-income families and to support the development and school-readiness of children. Research on how children and families are using the program can help policymakers improve program design and implementation to support these dual goals. In this brief, we use CCAP administrative data to analyze some key aspects of how families participate in the program in Minnesota. This research updates and expands an earlier study and follows families over a longer time period. The key objectives of this study are to understand how long children participate in CCAP, how long their subsidized care arrangements last, and whether they are likely to return to the program after a break in subsidy receipt. The continuity of children's subsidies and subsidized care arrangements has important implications for children's development and families' ability to maintain employment. (author abstract)
