Child care supply and demand analysis for the City is estimated <br />at 2015 and 2025. <br />Tables 1 to 6 comprise the population, employment, summary of supply and demand <br />estimates, and any unmet demand in the City. Table 7 includes the endnotes for Tables 4 and <br />5. <br />This study focuses on children ages 0 to 12, with the following breakdown: <br />• Infants – children under age 2 <br />• Preschool – children ages 2 to 4 <br />• School Age – children ages 5 to 12 <br />It is assumed that most five-year-olds will be enrolled in kindergarten or transitional <br />kindergarten and will not be generating demand for preschool age child care spaces. This is <br />consistent with the County-wide study mentioned above but not generally consistent with <br />other child care studies BEI has prepared. <br />8.C. - Page 8
