Census of Service Industries Data on Child Care
Census of Service Industries provides periodic and comprehensive data about service establishements and their activities. Data for three main types of child care establishments are provided: (1) nonemployer businesses (e.g. family daycare); (2) establishments with an employee payroll that pay income taxes (e.g. ,a for profit child care center); and (3) establishements with an employee payroll that are tax-exempt (e.g. a non-profit based center). The Census of Service Industries is conducted every 5 years, for years ending in "2" and "7".
