Childcare High Earners Rely On Centers, Low Income Families Lean On Relatives

Families with the highest incomes are most likely to use center-based care for their children, according to the Center for American Progress and Center for WorkLife Law. Middle income families split between relying on relatives and using center-based care, while those earning less than $20,000 a year rely most on parents and relatives.
