!Interpret data with caution. The coefficient of variation (CV) for this estimate is 30 percent or greater.
‡ Reporting standards not met. There were too few cases for a reliable estimate.

Center-based arrangements include day care centers, Head Start programs, preschools, prekindergartens, and other early childhood
programs.
2
“Other race, non-Hispanic” includes American Indian and Alaska Native children who are not Hispanic and children reported as a
race/ethnicity not listed.

Complete descriptions of the categories for English spoken at home by parents/guardians are as follows: (1) Both parents/guardians or the
only parent/guardian learned English first or currently speak(s) English in the home, (2) One of two parents/guardians in a two-
parent/guardian household learned English first or currently speaks English in the home, and (3) No parent/guardian learned English first
and both parents/guardians or the only parent/guardian currently speak(s) a non-English language in the home.
4
Full-time employment is defined as working 35 hours or more per week. Part-time employment is defined as working less than 35 hours
per week.
5
Children are considered poor if living in households with incomes below the poverty threshold, which is a dollar amount determined by the
federal government to meet the household’s needs, given its size and composition. Income is collected in categories in the survey, rather
than as an exact amount, and therefore the poverty measures used in this report are approximations of poverty. Detailed information on the
poverty status calculation used in this report is available in appendix B.
NOTE: Estimates include children from birth through 5 years of age, and not yet in kindergarten, who have at least one weekly nonparental
care arrangement with out-of-pocket expense. Children for whom no fee was charged, for whom another source paid the entire fee, or for
whom the period of time covered by the amount indicated (e.g., per hour, per week) could not be determined are excluded from the
estimates. Primary care arrangement within a particular type of care is defined as where the child spent the most time as determined by the
parent on the questionnaire.
