America's Child-Care Crisis: Rethinking an Essential Business

By Sarah Taylor Vanover

The child-care industry--essential to American families and to the American economy--is at risk of complete collapse. Before COVID-19 struck, the child-care industry faced funding issues and staffing dilemmas, while families struggled to find--or simply afford--quality child care. The reality is that COVID-19 has only exacerbated the challenges of the already-fragile child-care ecosystem. America's Child-Care Crisis takes a hard look at the current state of the industry and explores how to save this critical service by:

Identifying the systemic changes neededAltering public opinion of the fieldSecuring state and federal dollars for the private sectorPrioritizing the growth of family child-care homesEducating parents on quality care and helping them access itObtaining business support

Child-care is a system that is too critical to fail--we cannot survive without it. Together, we can reimagine the child-care industry for all Americans whose livelihoods depend on it.
