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.
