Initial Effects of Child Care Reauthorization on Child Care Markets

Funded by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation and the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, this project produced early findings about how the 2014 reauthorization of the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act has affected how states have approached implementation of reauthorization in different ways. The project includes a policy analysis, literature scan, Roundtable with stakeholders from the child care field, and analysis of state investments to improve child care quality. Child Trends is a subcontractor to MEF on this project.
