24 2402 CCDF Grant Award Financial Report Part 98 of the Child Care and Development Fund Code of Federal Regulations Market Rate Survey The Office of Childhood contracted with the University of Missouri-Columbia to conduct a research study on national status and trends in setting child care subsidy rates, as well as a series of focus groups and surveys with child care providers in Missouri.
This research study provides details of the activities conducted as well as a summary of the findings. The CCDF requires states to conduct a statistically valid and reliable Market Rate Survey (MRS) reflecting variations in the price paid for child care services by geographic area, provider type and age of the child. This report must be completed no earlier than two (2) years before the submission of the three-year State Plan.
Information about current child care rates is used to determine subsidy payment rates which helps to ensure equal access to child care. This would equate to access to child care which is comparable to child care received by and paid for by families who are ineligible for subsidies. The sole purpose of this study is to examine current market rates for child care in Missouri.
The subsidy payment rate setting process is not a part of this study and is completed separately. 2024 Child Care Market Rate Survey Past Market Rate Surveys are available below: Report a Serious Injury or Death Missouri child care providers are required to report any time a child is seriously injured or dies while in their care.
This report must be made within 24 hours of the incident’s occurrence and must be submitted to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), Office of Childhood using the Reporting a Serious Injury or Death in Child Care electronic form.
Incidents that require a report include, but are not limited to: the death of a child if the child died while in care; a serious injury that results in the child receiving professional medical treatment while in care; or the death of a child cared for by the provider, if the child died from a contagious disease.
States using CCDF are required to make information available to the public about the number of deaths, serious injuries, and instances of substantiated child abuse that occur each year in child care settings. View Missouri’s Child Care Serious Injury and Death Report for this aggregate data. Child care providers can use this Serious Injury or Death Flyer in their facilities as a quick reference sheet for incident reporting.
