Definition

Percent of parents who report that they had childcare arrangements on a routine or regular basis for their 3-year-old child in the past 6 months. This indicator is stratified by Alaska Public Health Region.
The survey's time frame for having childcare arrangements on a routine or regular basis changed in 2020, and the former series is no longer updated. Refer to Three-year-old children currently in childcare for childcare data between 2012 and 2019.

Notes

Two years of data were combined to minimize the unreliability of measurement due to the small number of actual events. The reported values are averages across two years.  For example, we report the average value across the years 2020 and 2021.

The percentages reported above have been produced by weighting the survey results so that estimates better represent the Alaska population.
