A Disruption, Not an Interruption: The Impact of COVID-19 on Child Care in Iowa.
Background: In March 2020, when public health stay home orders began in order to halt the spread of COVID-19, child care as an industry was drastically and abruptly impacted. This public health emergency highlighted the weaknesses in the child care system in the United States.
Objective: This study investigated the changes in operations cost, child enrollment and attendance, and state and federal support that occurred during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic among both center-based and home-based child care programs.
Methods: A total of 196 licensed centers and 283 home-based programs across Iowa participated in an online survey as a part of the 2020 Iowa Narrow Costs Analysis. This mixed method study utilizes qualitative analysis of response as well as descriptive statistics and pre- post comparison testing.
Results: Analysis of qualitative and quantitative data revealed that the COVID-19 pandemic had a marked impact on child care enrollment, the operational cost of child care, the availability of child care, and a variety of other areas including staff workload and mental health. In many instances, participants shared that state and federal COVID-19 relief funds were critical.
Conclusion: Although state and federal COVID-19 relief funds were critical for child care providers in Iowa during the pandemic, results suggest similar financial support will be necessary beyond the pandemic to sustain the workforce. Policy suggestions are made for how to continue to support the child care workforce in the future.
期刊介绍：
Child & Youth Care Forum is a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary publication that welcomes submissions – original empirical research papers and theoretical reviews as well as invited commentaries – on children, youth, and families. Contributions to Child & Youth Care Forum are submitted by researchers, practitioners, and clinicians across the interrelated disciplines of child psychology, early childhood, education, medical anthropology, pediatrics, pediatric psychology, psychiatry, public policy, school/educational psychology, social work, and sociology as well as government agencies and corporate and nonprofit organizations that seek to advance current knowledge and practice. Child & Youth Care Forum publishes scientifically rigorous, empirical papers and theoretical reviews that have implications for child and adolescent mental health, psychosocial development, assessment, interventions, and services broadly defined. For example, papers may address issues of child and adolescent typical and/or atypical development through effective youth care assessment and intervention practices. In addition, papers may address strategies for helping youth overcome difficulties (e.g., mental health problems) or overcome adversity (e.g., traumatic stress, community violence) as well as all children actualize their potential (e.g., positive psychology goals). Assessment papers that advance knowledge as well as methodological papers with implications for child and youth research and care are also encouraged.
