Employment and TANF Outcomes for Low-Income Families Receiving Child Care Subsidies in Illinois, Maryland, and Texas An analysis of subsidy use and employment and welfare outcomes among all low income families in Illinois, Maryland, and Texas, with a focus on: (1) building individual-level linked administrative data from Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and Unemployment Insurance (UI) wage records within each state; (2) developing an eligibility model that takes account of income eligibility rules across states; and (3) matching individual-level 2000 decennial census and Supplemental Survey data from the Census Bureau with the state-linked databases. The project aims for a more comprehensive model of subsidy use that will allow policymakers to better estimate subsidy need, and to understand the relation between take-up patterns among different groups of low income families and employment and welfare outcomes among low income families. This study builds on Child Care Bureau-funded research demonstrating that the child care subsidy plays an important role in supporting family self-sufficiency by increasing employment among current and former TANF recipients. |

Midwest Child Care Research Consortium A study that undertakes four tasks: (1) piloting and validating four linked state child care Quality Rating Systems (QRS); (2) identifying what training providers at different levels in the QRS select; (3) measuring the effects of training on child care quality; and (4) assessing provider attitudes about professional development, and parent attitudes about quality ratings. Methods include interviews and observations involving four hundred child care centers and family child care homes, 600 classrooms, 2,200 child care providers, and 200 child care center directors in 8 randomly selected communities (one rural and one urban community from each state), in addition to interviews and focus groups with subsidy-receiving and non-subsidy-receiving parents. The study informs child care policy and program choices about investments in child care quality and provider training and professional development, and outcomes that relate to alternative child care subsidy policies. |

Understanding Quality in Context: Child Care Providers, Markets, Communities, and Policy An examination of the role and relative importance of provider and program characteristics that influence quality of care offered by child care providers, and an exploration of whether these differ for providers receiving subsidies. The project augments existing quantitative and qualitative provider data collected in five communities. A total of 417 center directors and 536 family child care providers, caring for children under age five for at least 40 hours per week, are included in a sample of subsidized and unsubsidized programs. A second project phase examines how these factors play a role in decision-making as providers decide how to allocate resources related to program quality. The study informs policy and program choices about: (1) how provider, market, community, and subsidy policy factors shape the quality of child care; (2) the relative importance of these factors; and (3) whether the factors and their relative importance differ for providers receiving voucher-based child care subsidies. |
