Abstract

This report to Adult and Family services is an analysis of the rates that Oregon child care providers report charging for the care of infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. The report consists of: (1) a recommended rate schedule for family day care and center care in Oregon based on analyses of the geographic variation in rates for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children, (2) a discussion of the results of the analysis and of the methodological issues involved, and (3) a discussion of the results of an analysis of child care expenditures from a sample of Oregon employees (demand data) for comparison with and validation of the child care rates reported by providers (supply data).
