Economic Impact
& Childcare Analysis
Data-Driven Economic Impact Studies
TPMA’s economic impact practice is grounded in a rigorous, data-driven methodology that enables our teams to turn complex or conceptual challenges into clear, quantitative, and defensible insights. By integrating advanced modeling tools and structured analytical frameworks, we translate broad strategic questions into measurable economic outcomes that support confident decision-making for clients across various sectors. By leveraging industry-standard modeling tools, TPMA quantifies how investments, programs, and policy decisions ripple through local and state economies through direct, indirect, and induced impacts.
Our consultants design tailored economic impact studies that integrate administrative data, labor market intelligence, and sector-specific assumptions to produce defensible, decision-ready outputs. This capability strengthens TPMA’s position as a trusted partner for higher education institutions, state agencies, and community organizations seeking to understand the economic return on their initiatives and communicate that value to stakeholders with clarity and confidence.
Childcare Analysis
TPMA’s childcare work spans the full landscape of childcare system analysis, integrating economic, operational, and workforce perspectives to help communities strengthen access, quality, and long-term sustainability. Our team evaluates childcare coach training models and affordability subsidization models to understand how professional development and financial supports influence provider quality and family access. We conduct detailed capacity modeling and demand reviews to identify gaps between available care and community needs. TPMA has also completed feasibility studies for childcare facility build-outs and rehabilitation projects, assessing cost, operational viability, and long-term return on investment. Our analyses examine CCDDF voucher assistance, identifying gaps and potential solutions to improve affordability and equity. In addition, we review the childcare workforce, including wages, turnover, and talent pipeline development, to help partners strengthen recruitment and retention. By synthesizing these components into clear, actionable recommendations, TPMA equips communities, employers, and policymakers to make informed decisions that reinforce both the childcare ecosystem and the broader regional economy.
How We Support Your Strategy
