Book Description: The military child care system, the largest system of employer sponsoredchild care in the country, has received high marks for providing quality,accessible care for children of military employees. In an effort to controlexpenses, the Department of Defense (DoD) has considered a number ofdifferent approaches to delivering this care. This book presents estimatesof the cost of providing care in DoD operated Child Development Centers(CDCs), Family Child Care (FCC) homes, and centers operated by outsideproviders under contract to the DoD. The authors conclude that child care is a costly employee benefit and the costs are particular high for infants andtoddlers. Their survey of CDCs revealed dramatic differences acrossinstallations in the cost of care per child, with significantly lowerper child costs in larger centers. FCC costs are considerably lower thanthose for CDC care because cost is not so closely tied to a child1s age inFCC homes. Costs for contractor operated centers fall within the rangeobserved for DoD run centers. There is no evidence that contractor runcenters are 10 percent cheaper to operate than DoD run centers, the costdifferential that is a DoD requirement for outsourcing.
