Graph and download economic data for All Employees, Child Care Services (CES6562440001) from Jan 1985 to Aug 2025 about day care, health, child, establishment survey, education, services, employment, and USA.

This table contains data on the number of licensed day care center slots (facility capacity) per 1,000 children aged 0-5 years in California, its regions, counties, cities, towns, and census tracts. The table contains 2015 data, and includes type of facility (day care center or infant center). Access to child care has become a critical support for working families. Many working families find high-quality child care unaffordable, and the increasing cost of child care can be crippling for low-income families and single parents. These barriers can impact parental choices of child care. Increased availability of child care facilities can positively impact families by providing more choices of child care in terms of price and quality. Estimates for this indicator are provided for the total population, and are not available by race/ethnicity. More information on the data table and a data dictionary can be found in the Data and Resources section. The licensed day care centers table is part of a series of indicators in the Healthy Communities Data and Indicators Project (HCI) of the Office of Health Equity. The goal of HCI is to enhance public health by providing data, a standardized set of statistical measures, and tools that a broad array of sectors can use for planning healthy communities and evaluating the impact of plans, projects, policy, and environmental changes on community health. The creation of healthy social, economic, and physical environments that promote healthy behaviors and healthy outcomes requires coordination and collaboration across multiple sectors, including transportation, housing, education, agriculture and others. Statistical metrics, or indicators, are needed to help local, regional, and state public health and partner agencies assess community environments and plan for healthy communities that optimize public health. More information on HCI can be found here: https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/OHE/CDPH%20Document%20Library/Accessible%202%20CDPH_Healthy_Community_Indicators1pager5-16-12.pdf

The format of the licensed day care centers table is based on the standardized data format for all HCI indicators. As a result, this data table contains certain variables used in the HCI project (e.g., indicator ID, and indicator definition). Some of these variables may contain the same value for all observations.

As of 2019, 62.5 percent of children ages three to five that had any nonparental care in the United States were in center based programs. 22.7 percent of three to five year old children were in the care of a relative in that same year.

The child daycare industry has navigated various challenges, including labor shortages and fluctuating demand patterns. Parents increasingly recognize the value of early childhood education, spurring demand for developmental programs. Back-to-office working conditions have also heightened the need for childcare, especially for families with both parents participating in the workforce. This heightened demand offers growth opportunities, but it is coupled with financial pressures like the need to provide competitive wages to attract qualified staff. Revenue has been growing at a CAGR of 3.4% to an estimated $74.7 billion over the five years through 2025 despite an expected 0.0% rate change in 2025. Over the past five years, the sector's profitability has felt the impact of rising operational costs, particularly in labor. Competition for labor has meant higher wages, eroding profit and challenging centers to balance budgets. Smaller providers have struggled with limited financial flexibility, relying heavily on tuition to meet operating costs. In contrast, larger organizations face the burden of elevated professional fees and rental expenses, impacting revenue shares. Meanwhile, essential supply purchases have stayed minimal and marketing costs remain low, allowing centers to direct resources toward pressing financial obligations. A robust economy and government support promise to transform the sector in the next five years. As financial stability allows families to prioritize quality care, providers must raise standards and innovate offerings to remain competitive. The shift toward structured educational environments in centers will push businesses to incorporate advanced curricula and training methods. Increased female workforce participation will demand flexible service options, while government funding could expand accessibility and improve facilities. Advancements in security and health monitoring will likely become industry norms, attracting safety-conscious parents. As businesses adapt to these changes, they will shape a more resilient, dynamic care landscape, positioning for sustained growth amid competition. Revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.0%, reaching $78.4 billion by 2030.

Across 41 states, one in ten licensed daycare facilities is overdue for an inspection,” according to an analysis by USAFacts, which gathered inspection-timing data for 148,000 facilities. The analysis’s downloadable datasets indicate the number of facilities overdue (versus on-time or unknown) in each state and county, as well as the distribution of days-since-last-inspection in each state. Most of the inspection data had to be programmatically collected from state portals, according to Amber Thomas, except for California, which publishes bulk data (including inspection dates) about all childcare facilities.

This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the age of enrollment into early childhood education (ECE) programs and child development. This is a cross-sectional study using data from the Birth Cohort of the Western Region of São Paulo, Brazil, with a 36-month follow-up of children born at the University Hospital of the University of São Paulo from 2012 to 2014, and their caregivers who participated in the 36-month follow-up conducted from 2015 to 2017. Child development was measured by the Engle Scale of the Regional Project on Child Development Indicators (PRIDI). ECE programs were evaluated in relation to their quality. The social characteristics of the children and their caregivers, as well as the characteristics of the economic and family context, were used as exposure variables. Our sample consisted of 472 children and their parents/caregivers. The enrollment into daycare from 13 and 29 months was the most frequent. When considered alone, a higher age of enrollment was associated with higher development score [β = 0.21, 95%CI: 0.02; 0.40, p = 0.027]. After adjusting for confounding variables in the regression models, it was observed that being enrolled in a private institution, total time of breastfeeding, time spent by the main caregiver working outside home, and inhibitory control were determinants in explaining the infant development at 36 months in the sample. Older age of entry into ECE programs may have a positive effect on infant development at 36 months of age, but these findings must be carefully considered.
