!Interpret data with caution. The coefficient of variation (CV) for this estimate is between 30 and 50 percent.
¹ Among children with at least one weekly nonparental care arrangement.
² Center-based arrangements include day care centers, Head Start programs, preschools, prekindergartens, and other early childhood programs.
³ Includes American Indian/Alaska Native children who are not Hispanic and children who are two or more races and not Hispanic.
⁴ Includes American Indian/Alaska Native children and children who are two or more races. Use caution when comparing data with children's race/ethnicity categories because the same children represented in the categories below are represented in the Hispanic and/or other race, non-Hispanic categories above.
⁵ Includes American Indian/Alaska Native children and children who are two or more races, including persons of Hispanic ethnicity.
⁶ Includes children who are both American Indian/Alaska Native and other races, including persons of Hispanic ethnicity.
⁷ Includes American Indian/Alaska Native children only, including persons of Hispanic ethnicity.
NOTE: Children may have multiple weekly arrangements across the three types of care; therefore, a single child may be represented in multiple columns of this table. Among all children from birth through age 5 and not yet in kindergarten, 11 percent of children’s parents reported having more than one type of regularly scheduled weekly nonparental care arrangement.
