Regional Economic Conditions: Health of the Minnesota Child Care Sector

Minnesota’s child care sector continues to face high demand for care and high costs. Last year, the State of Minnesota responded with a historic investment in child care. How are providers faring this year?

For the fourth year in a row, the Minneapolis Fed partnered with First Children’s Finance to survey Minnesota child care providers. The Minneapolis Fed’s Tu-Uyen Tran and Suzanne Pearl, Minnesota director at First Children’s Finance, recently hosted a webinar discussing survey results on the sector’s current health, capacity, and challenges.
