abstract: 'To examine whether state child care subsidy policies can combine goals
of increasing maternal employment and increasing access to quality child
care for children in low-income families, we studied one state''s
comprehensive policy, through a cross-sectional survey of 665 randomly
selected families using centers, Head Starts, family child care homes,
public school preschools or informal care, including a sample of
families on the waitlist for child care subsidies. We found that, in
Massachusetts, families receiving child care subsidies report greater
access to child care, more affordable child care, and higher quality
child care, than do similar families not receiving subsidies.
Lower-income families not receiving subsidies can sometimes access
affordable, quality child care through Head Start programs and public
preschools, but, when they have to pay for care, they pay a
significantly greater proportion of their income than do families
receiving subsidies. We also found that families on the subsidy waitlist
are at a particular disadvantage. Waitlist families have the greatest
difficulty paying for care, the least access, and the poorest quality
child care. While the child care subsidy policies benefited those
families receiving subsidies, families outside the system still
struggled to find and afford child care. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All
