The US and the High Price of Child Care: An Examination of a Broken System


More than 12 million children younger than age five are in some form of child care in the United States. The US and the High Price of Child Care: An Examination of a Broken System provides a review of how child care is an issue for all of us and shares our policy recommendations for supporting families and child care providers. Also featured are:
  • An overview of the child care ecosystem and how each member is affected by unaffordable child care
  • How Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R) agencies work with each member of the child care ecosystem in order to develop ways to fix the broken child care system
  • Brief case studies – including an overview of a cost modeling study done for high-quality child care centers in Louisiana and an examination of income eligibility thresholds for families seeking child care subsidies in the Seattle metropolitan area
  • Educational and advocacy tools to help your state or community move the conversation about child care into action.
