“The onerous cost of raising a family in Massachusetts is another challenge for a state that has struggled to hold onto younger workers, many who flee Massachusetts in search of lower costs of living. Young workers raising families not only contribute to the labor force, but also help propel the consumer-driven economy by buying homes, cars, furniture, and other goods and services.
‘[Families] are going to go to other places where it’s not so expensive to live,” said Wendy Robeson, senior research scientist at Wellesley Center for Women at Wellesley College, “and that’s bad for everybody.’”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7y6gnezoo7nh3hlg4sekm3ib/bafkreihtonx27x3t2pw47iqnoj322gueg5vrxqw3tcron6tma3jg6tuciy)

IN THE NEWS The summit featured 28 research posters, including the work of academics, research centers, graduate students, family child care providers, and center directors. “We put out a call for posters that had to meet three criteria,” Robeson, a senior research scientist at the Wellesley Centers for Women and a summit organizer, says. “The research had to focus on early childhood. There had to be a policy implication. And it had to have a Massachusetts focus. We received posters about urban development, medicine, education, public schools. It was wide open. That’s what made it so wonderful.”

What challenges do family child care providers in Massachusetts face? Key findings from Understanding 'Post- Pandemic' Family Child Care Providers: Survey of New Entrants and Those Who Left the Field
Family child care providers' most important reasons for entering the field: To be able to work with children (76.5%) Because child care is important work (74.6%) Because I am good at caring for children (72.3%) To be my own boss (66.5%) To be able to work from home (65.0%) To be home with my own children (64.6%) To have a secure job (63.1%) Many child care providers have a passion for caring for children, and seek to do so while having workplace autonomy and economic mobility for themselves and their families.
Resources child care providers would utilize: Retirement benefits 68.8% Business support 61.2% Disability payments 60.4% Child care business management software 57.7% Help with start-up costs 56.9% Health care benefits 55.8% Help advertising their program and finding children 53.8% Program support 50.8% Professional development 50.8% Retirement benefits, disability benefits, and business support ranked highest among child care providers' resource needs.
Child care providers would stay in the field longer if they had: Higher income 62.7% Retirement benefits 46.9% More local services and resources to help me run my family child care business 40.8% More respect for work I do 40.4% Health benefits 36.9% A lack of income, benefits, local services, and respect for the field all contribute significantly to the child care field's relatively high turnover rate.
What challenges do family care providers in MA face? Here are some key findings from "Understanding 'Post-Pandemic' Family Child Care Providers", a research study headed by WCW Researcher Dr. Wendy Robeson and Dr. Kimberly Lucas of @nu-policyschool.bsky.social. #ECEC #DevPsy #PedSky #PASky
