Sources: Information compiled from State CCDF Plans, FFY 2004-2005, effective October 1, 2003.

Notes:

1 Rate information presented here is based on States' responses to Section 3.2 of the FFY 2004-2005 CCDF Plan as well as States' subsidy rate tables included as attachments to the CCDF Plan. These rates are not necessarily the highest rates paid in the State, but are the rates prevailing in the largest urban area in each State. For some States, specific age ranges were not defined in the rate schedule submitted with their CCDF Plan. In States with tiered reimbursement systems, which pay higher rates for higher levels of quality, the base rate for licensed child care centers is given. The actual reimbursement amount is a function not only of the amount of care provided, but also the family's share of fees (copayment).

2 In Florida, Duval County has three age ranges between 24 and 59 months.

3 Georgia has two additional after-school rates: part-time (per day) or occasional (per week) care, the latter of which is paid for teacher workdays, snow days, and holidays/ breaks, and is capped at $16.00 per week; and full-time care (per week), usually paid for full-day summer case, set at $80.00 per week.

4 Indiana has two "preschool" age ranges, 3-4 years and 5 years, both with the same rate in Marion County. Indiana also has separate rates for Kindergarten ($33.00/ day) and for "School-age/ All Other" ($32.00/ day).

5 Missouri does not have a separate age range for Toddlers and the Lead Agency did not report age ranges in its CCDF Plan.

6An approved FFY 2004-2005 rate schedule for Texas was not available.
