Oregon Child Care Market Price Study 2014
Abstract
The Oregon Market Price Study identifies child care prices and the geographic distribution of these prices across the state. Prices vary by several factors including the age of the child served, type of care (family child care, center, certified family care), the local supply and demand for child care, pricing modes (hourly, monthly, etc), and facilities’ perceptions of the capacity of families to pay for care. This study fulfills the federal requirement that the state complete a market price survey every two years.
2014 Findings
- Between 1994 and 2014 statewide prices increased for most ages and types of care.
- Child care markets are local with variation among communities.
