About these numbers
The National Database of Childcare Prices is published by the Women's Bureau of the U.S. Department of Labor. It compiles prices from each state's childcare market rate survey and reports county medians for full-time care by age group for childcare centers and for family (home-based) childcare. Medians mean half of providers in the survey charged more and half charged less.
We show the source's figures as published. We do not adjust them for inflation and do not fill in missing values. The source's technical report explains how it estimated prices it could not observe directly.
