Page 17 Figure 2 shows the percentage of center-based providers who reported having a wait list for either full- or part-time care at the time of the survey. Overall, 70% of providers reported having a wait list of some type. Of those who reported having a wait list, 98% of providers said they had a wait list for full-time care, and 31% said they had a wait list for part-time care. As shown in Figure 2, full-time wait lists were more common across some age groups, especially for children not yet school aged. The opposite was true for part-time care, where wait lists were most commonly indicated for school-age children. As shown in Figure 3, the majority of center-based providers (80.4%) reported that they were currently accepting children receiving subsidies through the Child Care Payment Program. Of those who indicated accepting subsidies, very few (7.6%) indicated that they limit the number of slots for children who receive subsidies. 77% 71% 76% 66% 26% 20% 27% 35% 33% 54% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Infant Toddler 2-year old Preschool School age Figure 2.
