Reckoning, Not Recovery
CENTRAL OHIO CHILD CARE PROVIDER SURVEY REPORT
November 2022
New findings from Action for Children’s Reckoning, Not Recovery report show signs of modest improvement in revenue and enrollment, but not an industry in recovery. While temporary relief funding has helped to keep child care providers in business, four in five (81%) center-based providers in the region want to hire or have open positions, and more than half of all providers surveyed (55%) have had to raise tuition since September 2021. This mixed picture produces a domino effect – not enough staff limits enrollment, which reduces revenue and causes tuition to rise – an unstable reckoning that shortchanges families, employers, and communities.
