2020 was an extremely difficult year for the child care system with COVID-19 intensifying strains on child care providers and families. Child Care Aware\u00ae of America<\/a> (CCAoA) recently reported that early childhood educators were leaving the sector prior to the pandemic. When early childhood education programs had to close, or experienced massive drops in attendance due to COVID-19, their ability to stay in business was further threatened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CCOA recently launched a new data center and state fact sheets that focus on child care affordability and accessibility by state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CCAoA\u2019s Alaska Fact Sheet<\/a> is now available and includes responses to early childhood educator survey questions that gauged the effects of COVID-19 on Alaska\u2019s child care system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, Alaska\u2019s data is in two different formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
