2026 Provider Pulse Check

Written By QCC

At Quality Care for Children (QCC), it is our privilege each year to listen and learn from child care providers who nurture and educate thousands of children across Georgia.

These perspectives are critical to advancing our shared goals of improving quality, expanding access, strengthening affordability, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of child care across Georgia. This survey remains one of the most important ways we understand provider experiences and identify how best to support children, families, and the systems that serve them.

This year, 590 providers shared their experiences. We are deeply grateful for their honesty, and commitment to this work.
