The purpose of this series is to summarize key findings and implications from the Maryland Child Care Choices study, a longitudinal survey of parents who were applying for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) in 2011. Families in the Maryland Child Care Choices study had at least one child age six or younger and lived in one of the following counties at the time of their first interview: Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Baltimore City, Calvert, Carroll, Montgomery, and Prince George's. This brief is based on data from all three waves of the Maryland Child Care Choices study. Telephone surveys were conducted by Wilder Research approximately every seven to eight months, starting in July 2011. Surveys included questions on the following topics: parents' child care preferences, the processes parents use to make child care decisions, parents' perceptions of the quality of their child care, child-care-related work disruptions, parental employment, and the use of public assistance programs. For each family, one child was designated as the focal child and detailed information was collected about the child care arrangements used for this child.This report concludes with a summary of key findings, implications, next steps and the appendix: "Care, Child, Respondent, and Household Characteristics at Baseline."
