Progress Made. Ground Lost. A Comprehensive Report on Early Care and Education in Franklin County, April 2012

Action for Children and The Columbus Foundation

Through generous funding from The Columbus Foundation, Action for Children—central Ohio’s child care and early learning resource and referral agency—commissioned a study of child care supply and demand in Franklin County, Ohio, and insights into the decision making process of parents seeking care for their children. Community Research Partners undertook the study, with guidance and assistance from Action for Children. The research incorporated recent literature on the child care choice, along with input of local parents and employers and the most current and fine-grained data on child care providers and the population potentially in demand of child care services. Findings are intended to help target Action for Children’s work over the next five years.
