2/14/25 ECEA Child Care Update
ECEA is capturing and counting the fiscal impacts of administrative and legislative policies on the child care and early education industry. We are counting the costs to raise awareness of industry impacts to highlight some significant reasons why programs are struggling.
We are pulling together information about program break even points to clearly show where the industry stands. WE NEED YOUR HELP! 3 quick questions....ten seconds of your time! We need every Center license type to complete the survey for us! One per program (owner or director). THANK YOU!!
