4 Supply – The capacity of licensed and registered child care providers. – Child care providers include all registered family child care homes, licensed child care centers, and licensed group child care homes. Unlicensed providers that accept CDC will be examined throughout the study but do not count toward supply. Demand – The number of children living in a neighborhood, ages 5 and under, not including those in Kindergarten. – For this study, not all children, ages 0-5, are presumed to need child care because not all families choose to take advantage of child care. For example, the methodology removes a portion of children in two-parent households with one parent working and one parent not working. Service Gap – The difference between supply (capacity) and demand (number of children). IFF Study Geography – The community areas for which we identify a ranking of need, relative to one another. – Based on zip code lines with consideration given to municipality and county boundaries.
