Our friends at the National Association of Family Child Care asked that we expand on the information provided in the ExchangeEveryDay of November 5 in which we shared information on where teachers work from the article, "Who Are our Early Childhood Educators?", included in the Exchange Essential: ECE Trends in North America. This article highlighted certain findings of the recently released Federal Administration of Child and Families' report, "Number and Characteristics of Early Care Education Teachers and Caregivers." In the November 5 issue, we spelled out where the 1 million center-based teachers were employed. To put these numbers in full perspective, included below are the numbers of family child care providers in this breakdown:
| Listed Family Child Care | = | 115,000 |
| Unlisted/Unlicensed Family Child Care | = | 919,000 |
| Independent Centers | = | 587,000 |
| Public Pre-K Programs | = | 209,000 |
| Head Start Centers | = | 143,000 |
| School-Sponsored Programs | = | 61,400 |
