Table 4 presents information on the number of children enrolled in participating facilities by funding type and star rating. A total of 144,912 children are represented among the facilities participating in the survey. This does not include children in Pre-K only centers. Among these children, around two-thirds (96,416) are in facilities that accept only private-pay children while slightly under a third (48,496) are in facilities that accept both forms of payment. Among children in private-pay-only facilities, about 38 percent are in facilities with a star rating of 4 or 5 and equal percent (37.4) are in facilities with a star rating of 3. Table 4.
