The Tipping Point
CENTRAL OHIO CHILD CARE PROVIDER SURVEY REPORT
November 2023
Action for Children’s latest Central Ohio Child Care Provider Survey report uncovers critical issues facing child care providers in central Ohio, including concerns about staffing, capacity, tuition increases, and the fact that over half of providers report that their monthly revenue does not cover expenses. With the ending of pandemic-era ARPA funding, these findings emphasize the need for sustained, flexible investment in central Ohio’s child care centers and Family Child Care programs. It’s imperative to address affordability, capacity, and workforce stability, ensuring a secure and nurturing environment for our region’s children.
