Millions of children are eligible for subsidized child care, but only a fraction received services in 2017

Description:
In 2017, just 1 in 9 children eligible for subsidized child care and development programs in California were enrolled in a program that could accommodate families for more than a couple hours per day and throughout the entire year. According to a Budget Center analysis of federal survey data, an estimated 2 million children from birth through age 12 were eligible for care, but only 228,100 were able to participate in a subsidized full-day, full-year program. This mismatch between eligibility for care and available spaces largely reflects inadequate state and federal funding. (author abstract)
