Recent Trends in Vermont Childcare: A Decrease in Capacity, Increases in Cost and Quality, and Policy Responses

Author

Abstract

For many parents, particularly mothers, the availability and affordability of paid childcare determines whether they can formally participate in the workforce. Studies show that because mothers traditionally bear a larger share of childcare responsibilities, their labor market participation rate is disproportionally affected by childcare considerations. This Regional Brief focuses on childcare capacity in Vermont, specifically on state-licensed childcare for children under school age. It studies how the capacity has changed in the last decade and how those changes have affected the cost and quality of childcare.
