"...the pandemic has exposed what the survey already indicated – foundational changes to childcare are needed.
Childcare business owners were struggling to keep their programs open before COVID-19, working hard and following the rules. But it’s an uphill battle. The very structure of their business bases revenues on market demand and pricing, but costs are driven by strong teaching standards and administrative requirements beyond the capacity of most programs.
Childcare must be reinvented as part of economic recovery. Our economy depends on a sustainable, high-quality childcare business model that is accessible and affordable for working families."
