The following fact sheets provide an in-depth look at both the need for and the current state of early learning programs in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The fact sheets include: State-specific costs of child care and cost as a percentage of income for families of color and families living in poverty; Percentages of child care providers participating in a state quality rating and improvement system; Brief descriptions of state-funded preschool programs and the proportion of children in each state who access these programs; How access to affordable, high-quality early childhood programs can boost states’ economies; How capping child care costs at 10 percent of a family’s income and voluntary universal preschool for 3- and 4-year-olds can benefit children and families in each state.
