LPIC Releases New Report:
The Impact of COVID-19 on Louisiana Child Care Providers

The Louisiana Policy Institute for Children (LPIC) released a new report, The Impact of COVID-19 on Louisiana Child Care Providers, detailing how the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has affected child care providers across the state.
LPIC conducted a survey of child care providers in Louisiana from March 16-23, 2020, in partnership with Agenda for Children, Childcare Connections for Northeast Louisiana, Louisiana Association of United Ways, Northwestern State University, Pointe Coupee Early Childhood Coalition, On Track by 5 Alliance, United Way of Southeast Louisiana, and Volunteers of America.

Results from the survey show the troubling impacts and difficult decisions facing child care providers in Louisiana during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Earlier today, the Louisiana Policy Institute for Children hosted a virtual press conference with our partners from Agenda for Children, Louisiana Association of United Ways, The Louisiana Department of Education, United Way of Southeast Louisiana, Volunteers of America Greater Baton Rouge, and Wilcox Academy to share key findings from the report and conduct a virtual Q&A.
