Oregon conducts a Market Price & Supply Study (MPSS) every two years to understand the current prices and supply of child care across the state. By participating, you help Oregon leaders have the information they need to make policy decisions, such as setting subsidy rates and investing in child care supply.
The 2024 study will be conducted between October 1 – December 31. You will be asked to verify the rates you charge for your program and current child care capacity. This can be done in the Find Child Care Oregon (FCCO) Provider Portal or through your local CCR&R. Your program information is combined with other facilities for local and state decision-making purposes. Price information is not shared with parents and is reported without identifiable program information.
The study is a partnership between your local Child Care Resource & Referral (CCR&R), The Research Institute at Western Oregon University, Oregon State University, and the Department of Early Learning and Care (DELC).
Watch for more information from your Child Care Resource & Referral in early October!
