Before the pandemic, half of all Americans lived in a child care desert. Nationally, there are 5+ infants & toddlers for every 1 opening, & in rural areas, there are 9 kids for every 1 opening. And finding child care is even more challenging for parents of kids w/ disabilities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

In my state, child care costs more than college tuition, & nationally 4 out of 10 parents have gone into debt due to the cost of child care, & almost 3 in 10 have had to choose between paying for child care or paying rent. But the scope of the problem goes well beyond just cost. — PolitiTweet.org

Child care workers, who are most often women, & overwhelmingly women of color, earn, on average, $10.72 an hour, & rarely get benefits they need—like health care, paid leave, or retirement benefits. This makes it hard to retain high quality child care workers. — PolitiTweet.org
