Barriers to Child Care Subsidies
Shlay, Anne B., 2000
Temple University
A project consisting of three related studies. The first utilized focus groups to examine subsidy use among low-income families. The second surveyed low-income families to explore how child care preferences may be related to race and culture. The third used observational measures to examine the quality of kith and kin care for families who don't use subsidies. This research provided policy-relevant information about developing subsidy policies that are sensitive to the contextual and cultural differences among low-income families.

Comparative Analysis of Subsidized and Non-Subsidized Relative Child Care in Kansas
Curry, Susan Willard, 2005
Kansas State University
An assessment of the quality of care in subsidized relative care settings, conducted for the purpose of informing policymakers regarding the efficacy of this investment. The objectives are two-fold: (1) to assess and compare quality of care observed in both subsidized and non-subsidized relative child care settings; and (2) to conduct a needs assessment of subsidized relative child care providers from which governmental agencies can facilitate support mechanisms or quality initiatives meeting the specific and unique needs of these providers. The study gathers quantitative data from sample pools of 30 subsidized and 30 non-subsidized relative child care providers from select Kansas counties, using the Child Care Assessment Tool for Relatives (CCAT-R) to measure the quality in relative care environments. Complementary qualitative data is gathered from focus group interviews of subsidized and non-subsidized child care providers.
