Abstract	This is the first of two briefs the Birth to Eight Collaborative will publish following their 2019 first annual landscape of early childhood education and care programs in Boston (see ED606431). In this brief, the authors report on important questions to help monitor the long-term impact of the COVID pandemic on the child-care sector local to the Boston area. Accessible, affordable and high quality nonparental care arrangements are crucial to support child development, participation of working parents/guardians in the economy and employers' access to a greater pool of diverse employees. Licensed child-care programs are the centerpiece of nonparental care and the COVID-19 pandemic has hit this sector of the American economy hard. Licensed child-care programs offering full-time, standard hours care in Boston are the focus of this publication. What were the trends before COVID? What impact did COVID have on these trends? Specifically, this report looks at the 15 ZIP Code-defined neighborhoods of Boston and the differences between child-based and family childcare. Are there characteristics that either exacerbated or mitigated the impact of COVID on the system? [This report was published by the Boston Birth to Eight Collaborative.] (ERIC).
