Request for Proposals: 2020 Market Rate Survey of California Child Care Providers

Note: The due date for the request for proposals has passed. This page is for reference and administration of funding. The purpose of the Market Rate Survey of CA Child Care Providers is to calculate the market rates for child care in each of California’s 58 counties. The survey will collect the rates for three age groups, two time categories, two provider types or “care settings” and four reimbursement units. The State will use these rates to establish maximum child care reimbursements for child care services to families in various state and federal subsidized child care programs.
