November 25, 2014
Good enough never is.

Our friends at the National Association of Family Child Care asked that we expand on the information provided in the ExchangeEveryDay of November 5 in which we shared information on where teachers work from the article, "Who Are our Early Childhood Educators?", included in the Exchange Essential: ECE Trends in North America. This article highlighted certain findings of the recently released Federal Administration of Child and Families' report, "Number and Characteristics of Early Care Education Teachers and Caregivers." In the November 5 issue, we spelled out where the 1 million center-based teachers were employed. To put these numbers in full perspective, included below are the numbers of family child care providers in this breakdown:
| Listed Family Child Care | = | 115,000 |
| Unlisted/Unlicensed Family Child Care | = | 919,000 |
| Independent Centers | = | 587,000 |
| Public Pre-K Programs | = | 209,000 |
| Head Start Centers | = | 143,000 |
| School-Sponsored Programs | = | 61,400 |

I believe it should be noted that ten years or so ago, more children were in family day care homes than in center care. In addressing the shortage of licensed childcare available (CO has licensed slots for about 40% of the children under 6 who need care) we need to look at reasons for the huge decrease in licensed family childcare. If family child care providers could be included in state plans to increase the income of all caregivers, it would create many new jobs while allowing many women the opportunity to contribute to the family income while staying home with their own children. Family child care, because occupancy costs are much less, is a form of care that can be less expensive to parents.
