The 2021 Minnesota Child Care Market Price Analysis was based on data collected by Child Care Aware of Minnesota, the state’s child care resource and referral system, through updates to an online provider portal, paper surveys, and by phone from August 2020 through March 2021. A contracted vendor prepared the analysis, ICF’s Early Childhood Insights and Survey Research teams (research team). The analysis used a methodology developed by the research team, in conjunction with department staff. The analysis was based on responses from 1,225 center-based providers and 6,067 family child care providers, representing 82% of all providers contacted. The research team also examined changes to provider pricing and capacity between 2018 and 2021. (author abstract)
