We are happy to share that the Market Price & Supply Study (MPSS) will happen from October 1st to December 31st, 2026.
This study occurs every two years to understand Oregon’s current child care prices and supply. In 2024 we had amazing engagement, and we are excited for your continued participation!
You will be asked to share information about your program in Find Child Care Oregon or through a survey. You can enter your information on your own or with help from your regional CCR&R.
The information you provide becomes a tool to help ensure families have equal access to child care. Oregon leaders use this data to understand child care in Oregon. The data is used to inform decisions about child care policies. These decisions include funding for the early learning system and setting subsidy rates.
Rate information is not shared with parents, and is reported without identifi able program information.
Thank you for your time and participation,
Find Child Care Oregon at Western Oregon University, Oregon State University & Department of Early Learning and Care.
