NSECE Snapshot: How Much of Children's Child Care and Early Education Participation in 2019 Was Publicly Funded? National Survey of Early Care & Education. OPRE Report 2024-132

Administration for Children & Families
In the United States in 2019, public funding of child care and early education (CCEE) could come from a variety of programs and levels of government (federal, state, or local). This snapshot uses household reports of participation in CCEE to estimate percentages of children younger than 60 months who participated in center-based or paid individual care arrangements, and the proportion of those that participated in publicly funded and non-publicly funded care arrangements. Using data from the 2012 and 2019 National Survey of Early Care and Education, which each included nationally representative data on households with young children, this snapshot focuses on rates of participation in 2019 and changes in participation from 2012 to 2019. Differences in rates of participation are observed based on child age, household income, and parent employment status.
