Lack of Available Childcare

[Country Kids]

We have had articles in our paper about being in a Childcare Desert. Centers and some providers here have years of waiting list for infants.
Then the school district is cracking down because schools are getting to full and not allowing out of school area children to enroll. So those children then have to go to their area school and many are left without a childcare option. Some of these children are in stable childcare's, and others have been enrolled even in these schools for several years and still have to leave if the next grade is to full.
Its a vicious cycle.

I was interviewed for a Child Care Desert article, coming out who-knows-when. ::

Personally, I think if licensing relaxed ratios a little it would make a BIG difference all around. There would be more spaces for more children, and we'd make more money and be less likely to quit for better paying jobs.

If it was a State article, I will bet you money when it comes out they will say the conclusion was that it will improve when the states are paid more federal (tax payor) dollars for subsidy programs.

Nope, it was for the local newspaper group.

LOL Taylortots - BTDT! I never used to have my computer save passwords but I've given in so now I don't know any of my passwords. ::
