The most obvious solution to the looming ‘child care cliff’

During the pandemic, many day care centers were shuttered. But some remained open thanks to federal assistance. However, this assistance is set to expire on Sept. 30.

A similar dilemma has occurred with American child care. During the pandemic, many day care centers were shuttered due to the lockdown. But some remained open as a result of the federal assistance they received. However, this assistance is set to expire on Sept. 30, and 70,00 day care providers are preparing to close.
Ergo, just as Americans who have outstanding student loans can no longer count on taxpayers for support, far fewer parents will be able to depend on the taxpayer to help pay for their child care. These families will need a new plan going forward.
