| † Not applicable. 1 Center-based programs include day care centers, nursery schools, prekindergartens, preschools, and Head Start programs. NOTE: Row percents for nonparental and parental care do not add to 100 percent because some children participated in more than one type of nonparental care arrangement. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Standard errors appear in parentheses.
