COVID-19 intensified our nation’s child care crisis and destabilized an already fragile business model. In addition to increasing child care supports which address demand – i.e. helping parents afford care – we must also find solutions to bolster the supply of child care.
One innovative way to identify new supply-side strategies is cost modeling. It’s used by businesses of all types, and depending on the methodology, it can calculate the cost to run an entire child care system, an individual program, or the cost per-child.
BPC’s child care experts will break down what cost modeling is and how it can inform investments in child care on Monday, December 5. Experts will also highlight why both a market rate survey and a cost modeling analysis are not mutually exclusive tools and how the collected data can identify business strategies that can increase quality and access and sustain the child care sector.
