Child Care Arrangements Among Low-Income Families: A Qualitative Approach An analysis of child care arrangements among urban low-income families, using qualitative research methods--including interviews with mothers over a twelve month period, and observations in child care settings--to explore the following questions: (1) What are the strategies working families in low income urban communities adopt for their young children's care and development?; (2) How do different strategies affect the way children spend their time during early childhood?; and (3) What comparisons, if any, can be made in the care offered families with young children in American inner-city communities that differ by racial and ethnic composition, and/or the types of services available in those neighborhoods? The goal is to better understand individual family decisions within the context of the choices available at the community level. |

Minnesota Child Care Research Partnership A partnership exploring how child care affordability, quality, and accessibility affect outcomes for families and children, with a key objective of understanding the effect of State policies such as level of subsidies, tiered reimbursement, and quality regulations. Questions addressed include: (1) How does quality vary for different subgroups, including families who receive subsidies and families from different cultural groups?; (2) How do subsidies affect parents' choice of care, the quality of that care, family earnings, and employment stability?; (3) How does tiered reimbursement affect quality?; and (4) How do subsidies affect the child care market in terms of supply, cost, and quality? Both quantitative and qualitative methods are used. Data from a statewide survey of representative households provides a unique picture of families' child care arrangements, including informal care. Longitudinal analyses of administrative data examine the effect of child care subsidies on employment and earnings. |

The Effects of Child Care Disruptions on Working Parents: An Experience Sampling Approach An examination of the interaction between child care and parent workplace stress. The study follows ethnically and socioeconomically diverse parents, and randomly samples their behaviors and attitudes to measure the effects of child care disruptions as they occur. Hypotheses include: (1) Parents using workplace-site child care experience fewer negative consequences as a result of child care; (2) Women are more likely to experience the effects of child care problems spilling over and affecting outcomes at work than are men; and (3) Low-income families experience more negative outcomes as a result of child care problems. |

Barriers to Child Care Subsidies A project consisting of three related studies. The first utilizes focus groups and a standardized survey with subsidy eligible families to examine subsidy use among low-income families. The second surveys low-income families to explore how child care preferences may be related to race and culture. The third uses observational measures to examine the quality of kith and kin care for families who do not use subsidies. This research provides policy-relevant information about developing subsidy policies that are sensitive to the contextual and cultural differences among low-income families. |
