Child Care Market Rate Survey Project: Mail Survey of Oregon Facilities, 2006 This survey was one strategy used to collect child care market price data. Comparing findings garnered from different methods allows one to evaluate whether different data collection methods produce different price findings (convergent validity) and how well these data collection methods represent the child care market (criterion-related validity). These data can also be used to explore several validity issues of concern with market price studies. The major areas of investigation in this survey include child care prices by type of care, geographic location, and price mode (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly). Other areas of investigation include capacity by age group, additional fees facilities charge, whether they care for subsidized children, and what affects the prices that they charge parents. |

Fluctuation in Child Care Cost Burden: The Effect of Increasing Subsidy Policy Generosity on Parent Decision Making This study uses secondary analysis of administrative data to examine the amount of variability in the parent share of child care cost experienced by participants in the subsidy program and the effect of cost burden variation on decisions related to continuation in the program and type of care selected. Substantial changes in Oregon child care subsidy policy in October 2007 provided the impetus for this study. Oregon went from having the least to having nearly the most generous subsidy policies in the country and this change provided an opportunity to examine how subsidy policy impacts families. Research questions include: (1) How predictable is the child care cost burden of a parent using a child care subsidy, as indicated by changes in copay, hours authorized, hours billed, and payments made to providers?; (2) To what extent did the 2007 policy change affect the amount of financial assistance and the predictability of parent cost burden associated with the subsidy program?; and (3) To what extent are the October 2007 policy changes associated with changes in type of care and stability of subsidy use? |
