1. Introduction and Overview
1.1 Introduction
The Center for Social Work Research (CSWR), in partnership with the Ray Marshall
Center for the Study of Human Resources (RMC), has undertaken the Texas Child Care
Market Rate Survey 2011 as contracted by the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) via
IACS number 2911IAP005.
This report summarizes child care market rate data for the entire state of Texas and
each of its 28 local workforce development areas (LWDAs). Three types of child care
facilities were surveyed between June and December 2011, as indicated in the table below:

The report includes four sections, followed by several technical appendices. The first
section, this introduction, briefly describes the research methods used for this survey and
provides an analytic overview of key findings.
The second section is comprised of four sub-sections: First, statistics describing the
distributions of statewide market rates for child care are presented. Second, daily market
rates for child care are presented for each LWDA by: type of facility, age group, and full-day
vs. part-day status. In addition to the mean daily rates, the following percentiles are
provided: 30th, 40 th, 50 th (median), 60 th, 70th, and 75th. Third, tables for each LWDA include
a summary of rate data by age group (collapsed across facility types); and fourth, additional
tables for each LWDA summarize rate data by facility type (collapsed across age groups).
The third section consists of a percentile analysis that compares data on local areas’
maximum allowable reimbursement rates with actual market rate distributions. This section
first includes a presentation of maximum allowable reimbursement rates by LWDA by type
1
of facility, age group, and part- or full-day care, followed by an analysis of the percentiles at
which such rates will allow reimbursement. These analyses are presented in two groups: one
for regular maximum reimbursement rates, and another for maximum ‘enhanced’
reimbursement rates that may be available to certain providers, depending on local rules.
The fourth section contains two sub-sections. The first section reports the
percentages of respondents offering care at non-traditional hours, and transportation services
offered by LWDA and facility type. Also included in this section are percentages of facilities
with national accreditation and Texas Rising Star status, as well as two similar but distinct
measures of the percentage of facilities serving any subsidized children, and the proportion of
the enrolled children receiving a child care subsidy. The second sub-section includes
percentages of non-sectarian providers (non-profit and for-profit), sectarian providers (nonprofit and for-profit), and community-based organizations (both non-profit and for-profit).

1.2 Overview of Study Design
This discussion of the study design briefly describes the sampling technique, the
interview process, and the analysis for the 2011 Child Care Market Rate Survey. A more
detailed technical description of the analytic approach for the project is supplied in Appendix
A. This section concludes with a brief analysis of trends by comparing results of this market
rate survey to those of the previous survey, which was based on 2010 data and completed in
early 2011.
Sample of Child Care Facilities
The study sample draws from a list of all 16,895 licensed and registered child care
facilities provided by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (TDFPS) in
April 2011. The list included three types of child care facilities in each of the 28 local
workforce development areas (LWDAs):
●
Licensed Child Care Centers (LCCCs),
●
Licensed Child Care Homes (LCCHs), and
●
Registered Child Care Homes (RCCHs).
A small statewide representative sample of 1,000 facilities was first chosen at random
in order to provide greater statistical power for estimating statewide rates and trends, and to
increase the precision of rate estimates for the largest local boards that provide the bulk of
care in the state. In addition to that sample, we chose another random sample from the
remaining facilities for estimating rates at the level of LWDA. For this latter sample, we
chose a target number of each type of facility from every LWDA based on projections of the
number needed to yield an average of 30 independent rate observations in full-day rate
categories. Projections based on detailed response rates to the 2003 through 2010 surveys
indicated that, on average, 85 LCCCs, 39 LCCHs, and 68 RCCHs per LWDA were needed to
reach this goal. These target numbers were then increased by 3 percent to 15 percent for
LWDA and facility type combinations that showed low response rates in recent surveys. The
target number of facilities was then randomly selected from each LWDA, or if fewer
providers were available in any given combination of LWDA and facility type, the entire
population was selected (a complete census). Implementation of this sampling scheme
resulted in all facilities of any type being selected from seven LWDAs: 3, 7, 12, 17, 21, 25,
3
and 27. A complete census of LCCHs was necessary in fifteen LWDAs, and a complete
census of RCCHs was necessary in fifteen LWDAs.
Before final local rates were estimated, data from the statewide sample were added to
that from the local samples in their respective areas, and the weighting schemes (for
estimating statewide rates) were adjusted accordingly. Due to changes in the estimation
procedures, originally implemented in the 2010 survey and described in the small area
estimation section of Appendix A, the number of rate observations collected by this design
was adequate to provide stable rate estimates for all LWDAs, without needing to rely on rates
from adjacent areas or any other kinds of estimates or approximations.
Some providers were excluded. Head Start facilities were excluded before the sample
was drawn and facilities whose only service was drop-in care were excluded at the time of
the interview. Head Start facilities do not charge parents directly. Facilities providing only
drop-in care charge very high hourly rates and are not usually used by employed parents for
regular care. Likewise, kindergartens and summer camps were not included in the survey.
Telephone Interviews
Before the telephone interviews began, each facility in the sample received a letter –
in both English and Spanish – explaining the project’s goals and objectives, as well as the
confidentiality provided to respondents and the voluntary nature of participation. Providers
whose surnames suggested they were of Vietnamese origin received letters in both English
and Vietnamese.
Research staff members conducted the interviews between June and December 2011.
They received detailed training, as well as ongoing supervision by advanced graduate
students and the project manager.
Surveys for home-based and center-based facilities covered similar topics. However,
home-based facilities provided detailed information concerning each child under their care
(age, exact schedule of care, and rate charged), whereas center-based facilities provided rates
by age group and by whether care was full-day or part-day. Facilities were asked to provide
information about the following topics:
1. Hours of operation and vacation schedules,
2. Enrollment and rates for care provided for each age group:
4
●
Full-day rate
●
Part-day rate (six hours or less per day)
Rate data were gathered for children in various age groups, using the age
group cutoffs the centers themselves used to set rates. These data were collapsed into
the following standard age groups for reporting:
●
Infants (0-17 months),
●
Toddlers (18-35 months),
●
Pre-schoolers (36-71 months), and
●
School-age children (72 months and over).
3. Additional charges (registration/activity fees) and transportation,
4. Administrative categories (sectarian/non-sectarian and community-based, forprofit/non-profit), and
5. Presence of national accreditation (e.g. NAEYC accreditation) or of Texas Rising
Star provider status.
The majority of interviews were conducted in English. However, a number of
interviews were conducted in Spanish and Vietnamese. The interview team was comprised
of only bilingual staff members, so that no delay would occur when we reached a nonEnglish speaking provider. Two Vietnamese speakers and 10 Spanish speakers were part of
the team.
A six-station call center at CSWR operated between 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM from
Monday through Friday. Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) software was
used to facilitate the interviewing. The CATI software contained a database with basic
information about each facility in the sample (facility name, LWDA, phone number, facility
identification number). The CATI program checked that at least four attempts were made to
contact each center and kept a record of those phone numbers to which no further calls
should be made (for example: wrong number, refusal to participate in the interview, or
telephone not in service). In order to encourage provider participation, a website was
constructed to present additional information about the survey to providers. Additionally, a
toll free number was available for providers to call the interviewers back at no charge.

Analytic Approach
The technical appendix provides a detailed account of the analytic approach taken in
producing the rates in this report. It is particularly important to note, however, that virtually
all of the daily market rate percentiles and other statistics presented in this report are based
on large and statistically reliable sample sizes. Even in the most scarce categories of care,
such as part-day infant and toddler care in LCCHs, and part-day infant care in RCCHs, the
numbers of rates gathered were sufficient for estimating stable rates.
Because different types of facilities tend to set their rates differently, analysis of
center-based rates was based on the rates for a category of care (for example, full-day care
for toddlers), while the rates for home-based care (LCCH and RCCH) were determined by
the amounts charged for individual children. That is, as mentioned earlier, in interviews with
centers the researchers asked for the rates charged for a particular age group following a
particular schedule. In contrast, researchers asked home-based facilities for the age and rate
charged for each individual child.
After the data were collected, all rates that appeared extremely high or low (known as
outliers) were identified, and researchers individually checked each rate report and corrected
any errors they found. Subsequent to these corrections, a small portion of the most extreme
outliers remaining in the sample were corrected to remove their excessive influence on
statistical measures of the rates distributions. In addition, similar procedures were
implemented to detect instances in which the number of slots reported for a given rate was
too extreme, whether too high or too low, and to correct these extremes to more reasonable
values. In general, as one might expect in such a large and diverse state, extreme rates,
whether at the low or high end of the scale, were typically the result of unusual services
provided by an individual facility and/or variations in subsidies and financing, rather than
research error.
Analysis and Trends: Market Rates and Other Statistical Descriptions
The basic outcomes for this report are presented in two sections: the first provides the
child care rates; the second describes the prevalence of services and financial and
organizational arrangements among child care facilities. Several interesting trends emerge
from this analysis.
6
The data and analysis in this report are voluminous. The primary tables of daily child
care market rates that form the next section of this report give seven statistics for each of four
age groups in each of two schedule types (part-day and full-day) in three types of facilities
for each of the 28 LWDA Boards. These data yield a total of 4704 statistics. It is likely that
in such a massive report, some anomalies will emerge in the numbers. A systematic analysis
was done of all possible comparisons looking for common rate anomalies, such as when an
older child rate significantly exceeds the corresponding rate for a younger child, or a part-day
rate exceeds the corresponding full-day rate. However, with the changes to the estimation
method beginning with the 2010 survey (see small area estimation, Appendix A), none of
these types of anomalies are present.
A comparison of the daily market rates reported in this 2011 survey to those observed
in 2010 reveal several interesting trends that are evident on a statewide level.1 Overall,
across facility types and age groups, median daily rates increased by about 0.4 percent during
this period, or about $0.07 per day, when compared to 2010 median daily rates. This rate of
increase in market rates is low compared to typical annual rate increases of around five
percent observed recently, but higher than the slight decline in rates that was observed in
2009 to 2010.
This essentially flat trend in rates between 2010 and 2011 is a product of diverging
trends among the different facility types, with rates declining among Licensed Homes,
essentially flat among Registered Homes, and increasing among Centers:
●
In Licensed Child Care Centers, median rates increased by an average of 3.1
percent, or about $0.61 per day.
●
In Licensed Child Care Homes, median rates decreased by an average of 4.8
percent, or about -$0.87 per day.
●
In Registered Child Care Homes, median rates increased by an average of 0.7
percent, or about $0.13 per day.
Changes in the market rates also varied by age groups of the children served, with
rates increasing for infants and toddlers and declining for school-age children:
1
Median rates are compared over time as the better measure of central tendency, though
higher percentiles may be deemed more appropriate for rate-setting. Comparisons were
made of all 672 median rates (28 areas multiplied by 24 rate categories) reported in this 2011
survey versus the same rates from the latest (2010) survey, and are weighted to be
representative of care provided on a statewide basis.
7
●
Median rates for infants increased by an average of 1.8 percent, or about $0.38
per day.
●
Median rates for toddlers increased by an average of 2.4 percent, or about $0.47
per day.
●
Median rates for pre-schoolers decreased slightly, by an average of 0.2 percent, or
about -$0.03 per day.
●
Median rates for school-aged children also decreased slightly, by an average of
3.4 percent, or about -$0.50 per day.
Continuing a trend from prior surveys, daily rates for full-day and part-day care
converged somewhat, with full-day care rates decreasing and part-day care increasing:
●
Median full-day rates decreased by an average of 1.2 percent, or about -$0.25 per
day.
●
Median part-day rates increased by an average of 2.4 percent, or about $0.38 per
day.
Finally, comparing rates across regions, the Capital Area (LWDA 14) clearly has the
most expensive child care in the state. In recent years the Capital Area had shared this status
with North Texas (LWDA 4) and Dallas (LWDA 6), but for several years now rates in the
Capital Area have been several dollars per day higher than those in Dallas/Ft Worth and their
suburbs. The least expensive care in the state is in the West Central Texas (LWDA 9) and
Concho Valley (LWDA 12) areas.
Several other trends noted in previous surveys were again evident in this 2011 survey,
and some appear to be getting worse. In recent years we have noted a short supply in most
areas of the state of part-day infant care, as well as part-day care in general. The apparent
increasing scarcity of these rates, which has also been noted anecdotally, prompted us to look
more systematically at trends over time in facilities that offer part-day care. The following
figures are based on percentages of facilities surveyed that offer part-day care for the various
age groups. These are shown for each of the last six years of the market rate survey.

Figure 1 illustrates these trends for Licensed Centers. From this figure, it is apparent that not
only are part-day infant and toddler care the least likely of the age groups to be offered, but
that the shares of centers offering such care are declining over time. After a slight bump
upwards in the 2010 and 2011 surveys, centers are still less likely to offer part-day infant or
toddler care than they were in 2005 and 2006. In contrast, shares of centers offering part-day
pre-school or school-age care have fluctuated but tend to be increasing in the last two years
of the survey.
Figure 2 shows similar trends over time for Licensed Homes. In this case the trends
are more extreme and appear to apply to all age groups. Part-day care in licensed homes was
scarce even in 2005, with fewer than ten percent of facilities offering such care to children of
any age. By 2010, the share of facilities offering part-day care was very low, regardless of
the age of the child, but the trends recovered slightly in 2011.

Figure 3 illustrates these trends for registered homes. As is the case with the other
facility types, it appears that greater shares of registered homes offer care part-day care for
older children. However, the general trend of declining rates of facilities offering part-day
care over time is evident here as well, and in this case they stayed low in the 2011 survey as
well.

The declining availability of part-day care helps to explain why part-day care has
been getting more expensive in comparison to full-day care. According to the law of supply
and demand, if supply of part-day care has been decreasing, and assuming no change in
demand for part-day care, this should lead to increasing prices. Finally, because of these
trends showing declining availability of part-day care, it is becoming increasingly difficult to
gather sufficient rate data to estimate part-day rates for all areas. Appendix A describes
efforts undertaken for both the 2010 and this 2011 survey to estimate part-day rates in the
categories of care in licensed and registered homes with the least availability of part-day
care.

3. Child Care Daily Market Rates and LWDA Established Rates:
Percentile Analysis
3.1 Child Care Daily Market Rates and LWDA Established Rates: Percentile Analysis
Percentile Analysis
Maximum reimbursement rates in effect for Local Workforce Development Areas
(LWDAs) in January 2012 for the various categories of child care were compared to the
distributions of daily market rates gathered in the 2011 survey to determine at what percentile
of the market such maximum rates would provide access. Similar comparisons were made
for maximum enhanced rates, or the highest rate a local board will reimburse for care in
facilities that, for example, receive more stars on the Texas Rising Star scale, or whatever
other criteria are used locally to assign enhanced rates. Exact percentiles at which access is
provided, whether for regular reimbursement or maximum enhanced rates, are listed for all
categories of care in the tables below.
Several clarifications are in order. First, it should be noted that these percentiles at
which access to care is potentially available should not be confused with percentiles at which
care is reimbursed.2 Second, it is possible that confusion could arise regarding the
interpretation of several instances in these tables in which access to care is listed as the zero
percentile. In these instances, the maximum reimbursement rate was found to be the same as
or below the lowest rate gathered in the survey for that type of care.
Several general trends in the level of access potentially provided are presented below.
Overall, across care types, facility types, age groups, and local boards, maximum
reimbursement rates were found to provide access to the 36th percentile of market rates, while
maximum enhanced rates provide access to the 45th percentile. These market access numbers
are comparable to the same figures documented in the 2010 survey.
As shown in the following table, the most access is provided for center care, at
around the 41st percentile, or the 51st percentile for maximum enhanced rates, while care
provided in homes is potentially reimbursed at lower percentiles:
2
To estimate the percentile at which care is reimbursed, corrections would need to be made
for reimbursement below the maximum, as well as differential weighting of more common
and more rare forms of care.

Part-day care was found to be potentially reimbursed at higher percentiles than was
full-day care, as shown in the table below. It should be noted, however, that there is greater
uncertainty surrounding market rates for part-day care. In many facilities, part-day care is
not offered at all, and in most areas it can be difficult to find. Because of the estimation
procedures utilized for some part-day rates, described in Appendix A, we have less
confidence in the degree of differential access cited for the part-day/full-day distinction, as
compared to the other trends noted here. We are still reasonably certain that greater access to
part-day care is provided, but less certain regarding the extent of that differential access.

Appendix A. Data Analysis
It is important to note that all of the daily market rate percentiles presented in this
report are based on large and statistically reliable sample sizes. Even in the most scarce
categories of care, such as part-day infant and toddler care in LCCHs, and part-day infant
care in RCCHs, the numbers of rates gathered were sufficient for estimating highly stable
rates, due to innovations in the estimation methodology described below.
Levels of Analysis
Project researchers summarized the survey data and conducted analysis at several
distinct levels. The most basic analyses were done at the level of individual providers.
These results document the proportion of providers responding to the survey that offer
various services (e.g., non-traditional hours, transportation), or that fall into different
administrative categories (e.g., sectarian, community-based, and for-profit). The only
exception to this rule is the item in section four that measures the “percent of enrollment that
is subsidized,” which is analyzed at the level of the individual child. A similar item concerns
the percentage of facilities that serve any subsidized children. When this number is higher
than the “percent of enrollment” number, it indicates that the subsidized children in an area
are widely dispersed among facilities, and when it is lower, it indicates that the subsidized
children are relatively concentrated among a smaller number of facilities in the area.
The remaining analyses were conducted at either the rate observation level or at the
level of the child care slot, as described below. Each center or home-based facility can
contribute more than one rate observation to the analysis, and each rate observation can
represent more than one slot. However, the nature of this relationship depends on the type of
facility.
Daily market rates for licensed centers were gathered for all categories of care
offered, regardless of whether any children were currently being served in such categories.
The categories consisted of all possible combinations of age group (gathered for actual age
categories in which each Center offered rates, but aggregated to the four standard categories
for reporting) by full-time status (part-day or full-day). Thus, one center could contribute as
A-1
many as eight independent rate observations, each representing any number of children
(including zero). These rate observations were then weighted by the number of child care
slots they represent (described below) when calculating market rate percentiles.
In contrast, market rates for home-based facilities, including Registered Homes and
Licensed Homes, were gathered at the level of the individual child currently being served.
Each child’s age, detailed weekly schedule, and rates charged were gathered for purposes of
calculating daily market rates. In this case, the individual children were treated as
independent rate observations, and each facility could contribute as many as nine
observations (or fewer depending on the facility type and number of children enrolled).
Because of this, there was no need to differentially weight the rate observations when
calculating the local market rate percentiles for home-based facilities: each child (or rate)
received a weight equal to one.
For the analysis of Center rates, the number of child care slots for each rate category
was determined in one of two ways. First, as done previously, for categories of care in which
children were currently being served, the number of children in each category served as a
proxy for the number of slots. Second, rate categories in which no children were currently
being served were also included in the analysis, since they were also theoretically part of the
market. This was done by estimating the number of slots for each of these rate categories
with a formula that multiplies the number of children served at each facility by the average
proportion of children, across all licensed centers, served in each rate category. Thus, for
example, a facility that served 100 children and had an existing part-day infant rate schedule,
but did not currently serve any part-day infants, would have its number of slots for this
category of care estimated at two (100 child capacity X 2 percent of children served in the
part-day infant category across all licensed centers). If the same facility served no part-day
preschoolers, its number of slots would be estimated at seven (100 child capacity X 7 percent
served in this category across all licensed centers). This method allows fuller use of the rate
information gathered, especially for rare forms of care in which rate observations were
otherwise scarce.
Statewide Estimation
A-2
For statistics conducted at various levels of analysis, special procedures were
necessary in order to compute statewide versions of the tables. Due to the fact that smaller
areas were over-sampled for this survey (meaning that facilities in these areas were more
likely to be selected for the survey), a correction had to be applied in order to estimate
statewide rates without over-representing facilities in these smaller areas. Similarly, it was
also necessary to apply a correction because of over-sampling of Licensed Homes, which are
much less common than Centers or Registered Homes. The correction involves computing
weights that, when applied to the statewide analysis, equalize the probability that any given
facility or rate might have been selected at random.
The calculation of weights for statewide estimation varies slightly depending on the
level of analysis: facility level or rate level (see preceding discussion). For facility-level
analyses, the weight is the inverse of the probability of selecting the facility at random.
Thus, for small areas in which all facilities were selected, the weight would equal one. For
larger areas in which, for example, 20 percent of facilities were selected, the weight would
equal five (1 divided by 0.20). When these weights are applied to any given statistical
analysis, the facility with a weight of five would count five times as much as the facility with
a weight of one, and the result would be representative of the state as a whole. Similar
procedures are used for the calculation of statewide rates, except in this case it is more
complicated because each rate must be weighted according to its share of the statewide child
care slots.
Small-Area Estimation
In many smaller LWDAs and for some exceptionally rare rate categories (particularly
part-day care in homes) the number of rate observations would have been too small to
estimate stable rates using traditional methods, even for the many areas in which the entire
population of facilities had been sampled. For this reason, an estimation methodology first
developed for the 2010 survey was used. Using this approach, parameters are estimated that
fully characterize the distribution of rates in each category of care. These parameters are
then applied, using an assumption of normality of the rate distributions, to estimate each rate
percentile of interest. The primary advantage of this solution is that a medium to large
sample size of rates is utilized to estimate each parameter, and thus the estimates based on
A-3
this methodology are demonstrably more stable over time3, and they fall into the expected
patterns more frequently.
Prior to any estimation of parameters, the daily rates themselves are first transformed
to make them assume a more normal distribution. This transformation is done by taking the
square root of the daily rate. The effect of this is to minimize the effect of high-end outliers
on estimates of the parameters of distributions4. This transformation is undone later,
following all estimation, by squaring the rates. The next step in the estimation of parameters
involves estimating area effects, or the average rate for each LWDA while statistically
controlling for all other features of the rates involved in the estimation (including facility
type, age group, and rate type). The average rates for all 28 LWDAs are listed in Table A-1.
Note that Capital Area (LWDA 14) has the highest rates, and West Central Texas (LWDA 9)
and Concho Valley (LWDA 12) have the lowest rates in the state.

As a test, the new estimation method was also applied to rates from the 2007 and 2009
surveys. Over this interval the typical rate estimated using the new method was found to
change by an average of 2.4% from one year to the next, while under the old method the rates
changed by an average of 6.5%.
4
High rates have greater influence on estimates of the distribution of daily rates due to the
simple fact that rates cannot go below zero, but there is no effective upper limit. Square root
transformation mutes this influence.

LWDA
Levels of variation among rates in each area, as indicated by the standard deviation
measure, are also listed for LWDAs in the last column of Table A-1. Note that those areas
with the highest average rates also tended to have greater variation or spread among rates.
Note also that the average level and spread of rates in each LWDA was estimated with more
than 200, and in a few cases over a thousand rate observations. Thus these parameters are
estimated with a high level of precision.
The next step involves estimating the typical patterns among rates of varying facility
type, age group, and rate type, while holding constant the area effects measured above. This
estimation was done using one model for Licensed Centers that included independent
predictor variables for each of the eight combinations of age group and full-day vs. part-day
A-5
rate. A second model was used to estimate these parameters for all homes combined, but in
addition to the eight variables, a ninth variable was included that coded for whether it was a
Licensed or Registered Home. Results of this estimation are shown in Table A-2. In this
case the typical rates are shown in standard deviation units. Thus the first row of Table A-2
can be interpreted to mean that full-day infant rates tend to be almost a full standard
deviation higher than the average rate.

Note that in almost all cases the number of observations in Table A-2 is more than
sufficient for estimating the patterns among rates to a high degree of precision. The only
exceptions to this are for certain categories of part-day care in homes. As discussed in the
analysis and trends section of the main paper, declining shares of facilities offering part-day
care are responsible for the low numbers of rates in these categories. As a solution to this
shortfall, the number of rates in six of these categories was bolstered by including six rare
categories of part-day home rates from the 2010 survey, adjusted with an inflation factor to
make them comparable to 2011 rates. These six categories are shown in Table A-2 with the
total number of observations in bold, and the number incorporated as estimates from 2010
rates in parentheses. With these additions, this should be just enough to estimate stable rates.
Finally, the 28 area effects from Table A-1 are recombined with the 24 rate type
effects from Table A-2 to estimate the parameters (mean and standard deviation) of the
distributions of all 672 categories of care in the full report. Using these parameters together
with known properties of normal distributions, one can then estimate percentiles of the rate
distributions for all categories of care. On the whole, the resulting percentile estimates were
found to be much more stable over time, in comparison to estimates made for small areas
using the methodology of prior market rate surveys.

SECTION 1 - Introduction and Screener
Ask for the Director.
Hello. My name is ________________ and I’m calling from the University of Texas at
Austin. I am calling in reference to a letter we mailed you about the 2011 Child Care Market
Rate Survey. What we’re doing is trying to collect information on how much you charge and
how the day care runs. The information collected will possibly help determine the rates paid
by the child care subsidy system for the care of children in low income families. Would you
be willing to participate in the survey?
If the respondent is reluctant, you may mention any of the following:
 The survey will only take about 5 or 6 minutes of your time.
 Would there be a better time to call you back? Maybe early in the morning, during
naptime or in the evening?
 Your center was randomly chosen to be included in this study. All your responses
are strictly confidential, and if you don’t feel like answering a particular question,
just let me know. Remember, the interview should take about 5-6 minutes. Is this a
good time for you?
 If you choose to participate, we will send you the results of the survey for your area
when our survey is completed (free of charge).
If yes: Thank you. Let’s go ahead and start. If you need to hang up at any time during the
interview, just let me know and I can call you back at your convenience.
B-1
If finally “no”: Thank you. Choose the right call disposition and proceed to the next piece of
sample.
Please ensure that you thank the provider regardless of whether they choose to participate in this
survey or not; we will probably need to call them back for future surveys so building good
rapport is important.
Q1_1
Is your facility any of the following:
(If the respondent answers "yes" to any of the following question, they are ineligible
so you may end the interview by: "Thank you, this is all the information I needed
today" and select the call disposition: Ineligible/Terminated Not Qualified (indicate
the reason))
NOTE: Facilities offering regular after-school programs are eligible
1) Only a drop-in care center not offering regular child care or after-school care?
2) A school, nursery school or kindergarten not offering regular child care or afterschool care?
3) A Head Start program?
4) Offering only part-time care (less than 6 hours per day or less than 5 days per
week) and not any regular after-school care?
5) Offering care at no cost to the parents (completely free)?
6) A facility only offering summer camps?

Final questions and closing
SECTION 1 - Introduction
Hello. My name is ________________ and I’m calling from the University of Texas at Austin. I am
calling in reference to a letter we mailed you about the 2011 Child Care Market Rate Survey. What
we’re doing is trying to collect information on how much you charge and how the day care runs. The
information collected will possibly help determine the rates paid by the child care subsidy system for
the care of children in low income families. Would you be willing to participate in the survey?
If the respondent is reluctant, you may mention any of the following:
 The survey will only take about 5 or 6 minutes of your time.
 Would there be a better time to call you back? Maybe early in the morning, during naptime
or in the evening?
 Your center was randomly chosen to be included in this study. All your responses are strictly
confidential, and if you don’t feel like answering a particular question, just let me know.
Remember, the interview should take about 5-6 minutes. Is this a good time for you?
 If you choose to participate, we will send you the results of the survey for your area when our
survey is completed (free of charge).
If yes: Thank you.
Let’s go ahead and start. If you need to hang up at any time during the interview, just let me know
and I can call you back at your convenience.
If finally “no” Thank you. Choose the right call disposition and proceed to the next piece of sample.
Please ensure that you thank the provider regardless of whether they choose to participate in the
survey or not; we will probably need to call them back for future surveys so building a good rapport
is important
