Economic Impact
& Childcare Analysis

Childcare Economic Impact Analysis

TPMA analyzes the economic impact of childcare systems to help communities, employers, and policymakers understand workforce participation, economic growth, and investment needs. Our analyses quantify the direct and indirect benefits of childcare, assess gaps in access, and evaluate policy and investment options. By translating complex economic data into actionable recommendations, we help partners make informed decisions that strengthen both the childcare ecosystem and the broader regional economy.
