This article examines the use of child care for children younger than 6, based on results from the 2020 Survey on Early Learning and Child Care Arrangements, collected between November 2020 and January 2021. Findings suggest that 52% of children younger than 6 were in regulated or unregulated child care, 8 percentage points lower than pre-pandemic levels. Although patterns in the types of care used, reasons parents selected that care and difficulties finding care were similar before and during the pandemic, some parents did cite pandemic-specific reasons for their use of care. For example, 14% of parents using care reported that at least one of the reasons they were using their current arrangement was because of limited availability during the pandemic.
