Early Education and Care System: Background on Numbers

2

Waitlist numbers are as of August, 2012, and do include numbers for unborn kids, children outside of MA, and all “00000” zip codes.

School age children age 13, age 13+, and unknown have been removed from the total number.

Average daily and yearly cost numbers are for IE only and reflect average costs for FY12 only.

For the purpose of this demonstration, the infant and toddler age groups have been combined as this is what will occur when CCFA is implemented.

The infant and toddler combined rate is the average daily rate for infants: $42.86.

Annual costs presume full service for 261 days.
