Ideas and Innovations In Early Childhood Education and Care is a think tank based in Watertown Massachusetts founded by Theodore (Teddy) Kokoros in 2018. All researchers and contributors to Ideas and Innovations In Early Childhood Education and Care are either teachers or parents of young children. While early childhood education and care is getting more attention from politicians and the media, too often those shaping policy and discussions related to early childhood education and care are not the people who are more directly involved with the work. This think tank’s goal is to share the research and perspectives of people who work directly with young children.
The U.S. Labor Department’s Women’s Bureau recently released The National Database of Childcare Prices. The database can be found here: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/wb/topics/childcare
The data is only through 2018 so it won’t show the state of affairs since the start of COVID but it still can serve as a good base marker for where prices have stood.
