TWC Child Care Services Data and Reports
The following resources on the TWC Child Care Services Data and Reports page can be helpful when developing a prevention strategy:
State Plan

Market Rate Survey
The Market Rate Survey can help communities understand how much parents are paying for childcare in their region.
801 Reports
The Child Care and Development Fund Monthly Case-Level Report (ACF-801) reports provide child-level data (such as race and household income) for subsidy programs. This data is useful if you have great data analytics people who can code and analyze the data in a meaningful way.
