Childcare: Mapping the Gap in Hawaii
From Child Care Aware America, May, 2018
Average child care costs in Hawaii makes up greater than 12% of the household median income, with single parents paying 45% of their income for infant care and married parents with two kids living at the poverty line paying 79% of their income on center-based care. In 2016, the average annual cost for an infant in center-based care is $13,704 and $8,112 for home-based care. The average annual cost of child care for a four year old is $8,712 for center-based child care and $8,172 for home-based child care.

In Hawaii, families struggle to access quality child care. Our key stakeholders (listed below) collect a variety of data points on child care providers across the state. For each map, we examined the locations of child care providers and children by zip code.
The Hawaii Child Care Resource and Referral agency, PATCH Hawaii, collaborated with Child Care Aware ® of America to create customized maps that tell stories about the state of child care in Hawaii.
