“America, It’s Time to Talk About Child Care.” A new report – Creative solutions to Missoula’s child care crisis
“Right now, the U.S. economy loses an astounding $57 billion per year in revenue, wages, and productivity as a result of child care problems,” the report warns.
“America, It’s Time to Talk About Child Care.”
That’s the title of a new report that declares what a lot of parents already know: America has a child care problem.
“…the federal government does not treat early childhood education as a public good nor does it provide adequate funding to support it,” the report says. “This chronic underfunding has led to a shortage of affordable, quality child care across the nation. And to the extent that child care is affordable for families, it is largely because early educators earn very low wages, and many must struggle to feed their own families.”
