Serving Champaign, Douglas, Iroquois, Macon, Piatt and Vermilion, IL Counties
As part of our provision of services, CCRS maintains an extensive administrative database. Administrative data can be and have been used for research purposes.
Every two years, data is used to produce the Market Rate Survey of Illinois Child Care.
Every other year Child Care Resource Service is contracted by the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) to conduct the Illinois Salary and Staffing Survey of Licensed Child Care Facilities. The survey was last administered during Fiscal Year 2005 and published in 2006.
"child care providers directly create approximately 1,185 jobs and $19.1 million of income. Including secondary effects, we estimate that child care providers generate about 1,601 jobs and $30.0 million of income. Furthermore, we estimate that about 4,081 working parents depend upon the availability of child care services. Our results display that the child care industry represents a vital component of the local economy providing a significant contribution to employment, income, and the supply of labor within Champaign County."

The first ever study of its kind below, shows how a $2.12 billion early care and education industry is vital to Illinois' economy. Released by Action for Children, Chicago Metropolic 2020, Illinois Facilities Fund and the National Economic Development and Law Center (NEDLC), the research shows that educating and caring for children under the age of six in Illinois has grown into a job-generating industry with more employees than either the hotel/motel or cellular/wireless industries, and almost as many as amusement, gaming and recreation in Illinois. Economic implications and recommendations for workforce development are discussed. Click the following links to read more.
