This report describes the methodology for the TRLECE project’s three surveys regarding child care and early education (CCEE) licensing (i.e., surveys of CCEE licensing administrators, front-line licensing staff, and CCEE providers).

This brief describes rates of child care disruptions and responses to disruptions during the pandemic by key household characteristics for households with children under age 5.
