! Interpret data with caution; coefficient of variation is 50 percent or more. 1 Estimates indicate out-of-pocket expenses per week for care of a given type, per child. For children with more than one arrangement of a given type, the expenses for each arrangement of that type are summed to calculate the total spent per week for that type of care. 2 Center-based arrangements include day care centers, Head Start programs, preschools, prekindergartens, and other early childhood programs. 3 "Other race, non-Hispanic" includes children who were multiracial and not of Hispanic ethnicity, or who were American Indian or Alaska Native, or were not Hispanic, White, Black, Asian, or Pacific Islander. 4 Complete descriptions of the categories for parents' language are as follows: (1) "Both/only parent(s) learned English as child(ren) or currently speak(s) English in the home," (2) "One of two parents learned English as a child or currently speaks English in the home," and (3) "No parent learned English as a child and both/only parent(s) currently speak(s) a non-English language in the home." 5 Children without mothers living in the household are not included in estimates related to mother's education, enrollment, employment status, or work shift. 6 Work shifts were collapsed into two categories: regular and variable work shifts. A regular work shift is one with set hours. A variable shift is one that changes from days to evenings or nights regardless of whether the hours are set by the employer or the employee. 7 Parents or guardians respond "yes" or "no" to the question: "Are there any conditions in your neighborhood that make you worried about the health or safety of ((child)/any of the children) in your household?" NOTE: Estimates include children from birth through 5 years of age, and not yet in kindergarten who have at least one weekly nonparental care arrangement with out-of-pocket expense. Children for whom no fee was charged, for whom another source paid the entire fee for care, or for whom the period of time covered by the amount indicated (e.g., per hour, per week, etc.) could not be determined are excluded from the mean estimates but are included in the number of children with an out-of-pocket cost. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
