Childcare is more than just supervision. It is a part of the infrastructure and foundation of a strong, healthy community. When families have access to affordable, safe, and reliable childcare, children are better able to grow and learn, developing social, emotional, and early learning skills that prepare them for school and life. Parents can work, earn income, or pursue education, while families overall experience improved mental health as childcare provides time to manage stress and care for their well-being.
Communities benefit, too, as every $1 invested in childcare can yield a $4 to $9 return through increased productivity and reduced demand on services like healthcare and public assistance. Yet, many families today face long waitlists, high costs, limited hours, or a complete lack of available options. We want to understand the challenges you face and how we can help create better solutions. Whether you are a parent, plan to have children, or simply care about your community, your voice matters.
