¹For this analysis, nonrelative, out of home care arrangements include care provided at least once a week in a child-care center (including day care centers, Head Start programs, preschools, prekindergartens, and other early childhood programs) or in a private home, other than the child's own home, by a provider not related to nor living in the household with the child.
²Nonrelative care inside the home includes weekly arrangements provided by individuals not related to the child that occur in the child's home some or all of the time or by individuals providing care outside the child's home who live in the child's household.
³“Other race, non-Hispanic” includes children who are multiracial and not of Hispanic ethnicity; who are American Indian or Alaska Native; and who are not Hispanic, White, Black, or Asian or Pacific Islander. These groups are not shown separately because the sample sizes do not support stable estimates. Those reported as Asian and Pacific Islander who are not Hispanic are included in the "Asian or Pacific Islander, non-Hispanic" group.
NOTE: Estimates include children from birth through age 5 and not yet in kindergarten. Children may have multiple care arrangements.
