Introduction

The purpose of this report is to estimate the overall true cost of providing a high quality licensed early care and education/child care in a center-based program in San Francisco, and to inform the Department of Children, Youth, and Their Families (DCYF) and the jointly-funded early care and education (ECE) investments. NOTE: The term early care and education is used as an inclusive term to mean all types of licensed education and care for children from birth through age five. These services are known by many names, such as child care, daycare, preschool, Head Start/Early head Start, pre-kindergarten, etc.; but they all share the essential element of providing care and education for young children. The ECE team at DCYF, with input from the senior policy/planners within the DCYF, Human Services Agency (HSA), staff overseeing citywide ECE initiatives, and real San Francisco child care center operators, developed this model of three hypothetical child care centers of varying levels of standards and funded through various revenue streams:

1. a program licensed under the Department of Social Services (DSS) Title 22 Community Care Licensing, which constitutes the minimum state standards;

2. a California Department of Education-Child Development Division (CDE-CDD) contracted program guided by Title 5 quality standards;

3. a high quality program, based on nationally recognized best practices, called The Obama Child Development Center for Change (OCDCC).

We named our high quality child development center the Obama Child Development Center for Change for two reasons. First, President Barack Obama campaigned on a political platform of “change”, where he articulated that business as usual is no longer acceptable, that the country should be bold and courageous in its actions, and open to the momentum that allows systems to evolve and outcomes to improve. Secondly, President Barack Obama, in the highest position of leadership in our country, has publically declared that early care and education is valuable as the first pillar of our education system, as well as a vital underpinning of our country’s economic success.

Methodology

While developing the San Francisco cost model, the Long Beach Economic Model of Quality Early Care and Education: What does quality cost? (Long Beach Early Care and Education Committee, 2006) was used as a base template. For The Obama Child Development Center for Change (OCDCC), quality standards were based on the following resources benchmarks for quality: Title 5 state programmatic standards and regulations, the National Association of Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Program Standards and Accreditation Criteria, the National Institute for Early Education Research’s ten generally accepted benchmarks for what constitutes high quality prekindergarten education, the Early Childhood Environmental Rating Scale (ECERS) and Infant/Toddler Environment Rating Scale (ITERS). Using these sources, the highest standard of quality was used for the OCDCC –to highlight what is the true cost of high quality care.

These quality program dimensions include staffing qualifications, staffing patterns, staff-to-child ratios, group sizes, professional development/training, and parent involvement. High quality standards for nutrition and food service, health and safety, and interior/exterior facility square footage were also taken into account. Built into the budget is funding for consultants and staff support personnel, including an enrollment specialist, an administrative assistant, and a cook. The three San Francisco hypothetical child care centers are modeled after comparable, in size and scope, child care centers presented in Santa Clara County, Orange County, and Long Beach’s studies (See Bibliography). Local child care providers, program/initiative staff, and policy/planning staff within City departments invested in the citywide ECE system were consulted for additional input and experience to help shape the three distinct models. San Francisco’s prototype child care centers were designed taking into consideration both the typical, as well as best practices related to: the number of children served by age cohorts, group sizes and ratios, number of classrooms, number of teachers and their education levels, and children’s enrollment and transitions through the program. Specifically, the hypothetical Title 22 and Title 5 centers are created utilizing their respective programmatic standards and reflect typical personnel costs; whereas the OCDCC was designed to reflect higher quality standards and improved staff compensation and benefits. All three prototype programs are year-around, full-day (11 hours/day) stand alone centers with 104-114 children served. Each center is assumed to be closed for two weeks per year to allow for staff vacations. CDE-CDD contracted programs must be open 246 days a year, so the additional four days are intended to be used for in-service trainings/professional development. All of the programs serve children from six weeks to five years of age. The Title 22 and Title 5 centers were staffed at state-mandated levels for acceptable ratios and group sizes. For the OCDCC, staffing was configured based on thinking about what is in the best interest of the child, as well as what is considered best practice for staffing patterns and teacher qualifications in each classroom. The staffing ratios used are based on child:adult ratios required for NAEYC Accreditation within each age group (see Staffing Worksheets). For each program, the ratios remain at the designated level with adequate time for lunch breaks, planning and documentation. No compromises are allowed on educational qualifications and the staff is compensated according to our highest paid early childhood professionals in the city. It is extremely noteworthy to mention that the desire was to show the true cost of high quality, which means significantly improving the early childhood workforces’ compensation to align and have wage parity with K-12 teachers when one’s educational achievement is equivalent, however, the costs associated with such an effort is far beyond sustainable due to the number of staffing per classroom needed to meet appropriate ratios in ECE. This means that currently, neither government reimbursements nor what parents can afford will allow for the compensation to realistically reach parity. For the Title 5 center, salaries were based off of the San Francisco State University/Head Start salary schedule and modified to reflect annual increases for tenure (using the Los Angeles County Draft Model Compensation for Child Care and Development Personnel). Wage rates for the Title 22 center were derived from San Francisco CARES data1 for the average hourly wage rates based on job title. The OCDCC programmatic staff wages are aligned with the San Francisco Unified School District’s (SFUSD) salary schedule for their Child Development Program staff. SFUSD Child Development

1 SFCARES data reflects wage rates for individual programmatic staff that applied for an annual stipend based on professional goals achieved throughout the year, and does not include staff from publically-administered programs or Title 5 centers.

Program’s wages are among the highest in the city/county, but the compensation for its early childhood teachers is not K-12 parity, which is the ultimate goal for adequate professional compensation that is commensurate with one’s education and experience. Revenue streams for each of the centers were calculated based on CDE-CDD’s contract reimbursement rates, state Alternative Payment (AP) voucher reimbursement ceilings, collection of state-mandated family fees for subsidized care, and full-fee tuition. The Title 22 center is not contracted with the state and therefore revenue is limited to full-fee tuition and AP vouchers with some families paying fees. The revenue for the model Title 5 center and OCDCC was calculated using the state standard reimbursement rate (SRR) and includes the family fees for both the contracts and the AP vouchers (See Revenue Worksheets). The gap in funding between revenue and expenditure was then calculated for each program; and additionally, the gap was calculated if local grants (based on current rates) were not available for each center.

Findings What does high quality ECE/child care cost in center-based program in San Francisco? -in our prototype, we found the following:

Average staffing costs require 73%–78% of a center’s budget, with the highest percentage being associated with the higher quality program.

Programmatic staffing costs are more then 2/3 of the total personnel costs across all types of centers.

The average cost per child by program type ranges from $11,552 - $24,161/annually, with the

average cost of providing care (by age cohort) indicating that the high quality program costs more then twice as much as the program based on the state’s minimum standards.

o Average cost of providing infant care (6 weeks-24 months) ranges from $14,111-

$28,788/annually.

o Average cost of providing toddler care (24-36 months) ranges from $11,734-$25,456/annually.

o Average cost of providing preschool-age care (3-5 years) ranges from $8,810-

$18,239/annually.

The Regional Market Rate (RMR) falls short and only covers on average 85% of the true cost of care in a typical Title 5 center.

o The RMR covers approximately 58% of the true cost of care in a high quality child development center (based on OCDCC model).

The State’s subsidized child development Standard Reimbursement Rate (SRR) for Title 5 center-based contractors falls well short of providing adequate funding commiserate with compensation standards for highly qualified professional staff:

o For infants – only covers 74% of the cost of care based on an adjusted Regional Market

Rate (SF-RMR) for San Francisco.

o For toddlers – only covers 73% of the cost of care based on an adjusted Regional Market Rate (SF-RMR) for San Francisco.

o For preschoolers – only covers 66% of the cost of care based on an adjusted Regional

Market Rate (SF-RMR) for San Francisco. The SRR would need to increase from 36% (infants), 38% (toddlers), and 53% (preschoolers) to

cover the true cost of care in a typical Title 5 funded center in San Francisco.

A high quality child development center (based on OCDCC cost model) cannot rely solely on the SRR, as the reimbursement rate barely covers half of the associated expenses of providing such care:

o For infants – only covers 53% of the cost of care based on an adjusted Regional Market

Rate (SF-RMR) for San Francisco.

o For toddlers – only covers 49% of the cost of care based on an adjusted Regional Market Rate (SF-RMR) for San Francisco.

o For preschoolers – only covers 50% of the cost of care based on an adjusted Regional

Market Rate (SF-RMR) for San Francisco.

The SRR would need to increase 89% (infants), 103% (toddlers), and 99% (preschoolers) to cover the true cost of care for children from low-income families attending a high quality child development center (based on OCDCC cost model) that pays teaching staff near parity to K-12 educators.

Higher quality care is financially beyond the reach of most working families when high quality

infant care costs $2,399 per month, toddler care at $2,121, and preschool-age care at $1,520 (based on OCDCC cost model).

Tuition for private paying families will need to increase nearly 10% to cover the cost of a full-

day preschooler and over 30% to cover the cost of a full-day infant or toddler in a high quality child development center (based on OCDCC cost model) that pays teaching staff near parity to K-12 educators.

Understanding the importance of quality is essential to our findings. The national studies that attempt to define quality in ECE/child care are well-known and abundant. The critical structural dimensions that facilitate optimal health and development for children are caregiver compensation, education,

specialized training and then adult:child ratio.2 Highly educated and highly skilled professionals that offer a consistent relationship with a child help to promote positive development. And settings where these professionals are responsible for fewer children are most often found to have higher ratings for quality. The compensation for San Francisco’s early childhood workforce falls short of a high-quality standard; and as a result the early childhood professionals’ wages constitute a major subsidy in the ECE/child care market. Wage levels are considerably beneath those for elementary school teachers in the Bay Area public school districts –salaries for early childhood professionals are approximately 60% of the average public elementary school teacher salary.3 Only through raising salary levels can we expect to attract and retain highly-qualified, educated professionals for the City’s early childhood workforce. The National Child Care Staffing Study concludes that inadequate compensation has a direct and negative impact on the quality of programs provided to children (Whitebook, Howes and Phillips, 1990). Early childhood professionals’ compensation is linked to high quality care even when training and ratios are considered. And compensation is the primary determinant of staff turnover; and higher turnover is associated with poorer outcomes for children. Therefore, improving the compensation for early childhood professionals is an important step in improving the quality of a program. The purpose of this report is to illustrate the overall true cost of providing a high quality ECE/child care in San Francisco. As the data indicates, the current State reimbursement rates (both the SRR and RMR) are far too low to sustain high quality programming for the children who need it the most according to researchers. State investments allocated for child development services in licensed center-based settings for the City’s low-income children and their families will need to increases substantially, to both cover the true cost of meeting Title 5 programmatic standards, as well as enabling the quality of programs to improve with better ratios, smaller groups sizes and higher compensated teaching staff. High quality early care and education, especially for low-income children, has been proven to be one of the most cost-effective ways to guarantee that more of our children are able to learn the skills they will need for success in school and later in life. Developing this model (and the estimated gap in revenue) is intended to inform the ECE Joint Funders as it thinks about funding strategies and system investments; but the work is also intended to help the ECE community better communicate with the businesses/private sector, other private funders, and families about the cost of quality. It is imperative to nurture and support public will that understands the importance of quality ECE/child care and its true cost.

Possible Next Steps Although licensed family child care homes are not included in this analysis, we recognize that they are a crucial component to the child care industry and would benefit largely from a similar cost analysis. In addition, a comparison between different program typologies (i.e., infant/toddler stand-alone, or preschool-only), may offer further insight into the true cost of care for specific age groups. 2 C.

Staff turnover is a factor that increases cost to a program, and an analysis on this cost (compared to higher compensation) could be extremely beneficial for program directors and child care funders.

San Francisco Subsidy Pilot Reimbursement Rate Analysis

The California Department of Education-Child Development Division’s standard reimbursement rate (SRR) for contracted child care centers, (Title 5 programs), is $34.38 daily per child. With the San Francisco Subsidy Pilot program (SB 701), the reimbursement rate is slightly higher at $36.63 daily per child. Within our models that have a state contract, the Pilot reimbursement rate (PRR) would provide to the Title 5 Center an additional $71,669 per year, or $739 per child per year, and OCDCC an additional $44,000 per year, or $746 per child per year, in revenue to help close the operating gap.
