Parents' reasons for searching for child care and early education: Findings from the 2019 National Survey of Early Care and Education

Description:

This snapshot provides updated findings about parents’ child care and early education (CCEE) search and decision-making using the 2019 National Survey of Early Care and Education (NSECE) Household (HH) Survey.  We present findings on (1) the prevalence of CCEE searches among household respondents, usually parents, that reported on children under age 6, (2) the reasons for CCEE searches, (3) the rate at which parents changed their care arrangement following a search, and (4) the reasons why parents ultimately did not change their care. We tested differences in CCEE search and decision-making by household income, child age, and, where sample sizes allowed, the race and ethnicity of the selected child. (author abstract)
