In the podcast, Phil Sirinides, Penn State’s director of the Institute of State and Regional Affairs, and Luisa Oliva-Wolf, director of OCDEL’s Bureau of Policy and Professional Development, discuss the importance of the survey and how its data benefits child care providers across the state.

Results from the state’s Child Care Market Rate Survey are used by OCDEL to evaluate future child care programming and policy decisions. All licensed child care providers in Pennsylvania that charge private pay tuition rates are encouraged to participate in the survey by Dec. 8.

More information about the survey is available on The Pennsylvania Key website. For assistance with the survey, email ChildCareResearch@psu.edu or call 814-865-1775.
