The Oregon DELC and P5FS are updating the child care cost model and seek provider input through sessions, aiming to reflect true care costs for quality standards.
The Oregon Department of Early Learning and Care (DELC) and Prenatal to Five Fiscal Strategies (P5FS) are updating the Oregon child care cost model. The cost model is used by DELC to understand the true cost of providing care that meets Oregon state standards and higher quality standards and can be combined with market price data to inform rate setting under the Employment Related Day Care program (ERDC).
To ensure the updated cost model reflects the realities faced by providers, we need to hear from you! Make your voice heard by participating in a Provider Input Session. This is your opportunity to share what it truly costs to provide quality child care – not just what families can afford. Input sessions are intended for child care center directors or fiscal managers, and family child care provider/owners.
Input Sessions will be held in English and Spanish (and other languages as requested, if possible). Learn more about the process and register for an input session today!
Participants attending an input session will be entered into a giveaway!
Prenatal to Five Fiscal Strategies is conducting this study and all data will be kept confidential and not attributed to any one person or program.
