The research partnership between Public Policy Associates (PPA) and the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP) looks at the effects of changes to the Child Development and Care (CDC) Scholarship Program’s payment structure. The study measures the changes’ impacts on child care access and the administrative burden of the program.
This past year, the research team collected primary and secondary data about the pilot to increase infant/toddler slots, temporary changes to payment and co-payment policies, and the administrative burden felt by eligibility specialists, providers, and families. Read this summary (below) for an overview of the results and recommendations.
