Impact of infant-toddler child care challenges felt by families, employers, and taxpayers
Wisconsin’s working parents know how difficult it is to find child care that’s accessible, affordable, and high-quality. This problem is particularly acute for parents of very young children, as infant and toddler care is typically the least available and most expensive. Further, children under age three are experiencing one of the most crucial periods of brain development. Wisconsin employers know the economic impact of these child care challenges, that will only worsen as the child care crisis continues.
