Nontraditional hours and child care: An exploratory study on the needs of families and child care providers in California

Description:
There are many parents in California who work outside of the traditional Monday through Friday nine to five schedule. Finding child care can be hard for many families, but during these hours it's particularly difficult - especially since many of these jobs are also low wage, making finding affordable care even less likely. This study explores the experiences of both parents working nontraditional hours, as well as the child care providers who care for their children. Online surveys, in-person focus groups, and phone interviews were all employed to gather both quantitative and qualitative data from parents and providers throughout California. (author abstract)
