Child care is both an economic necessity and barrier to employment for most families:
65 percent of children under six have either both parents or a single parent in the workforce. At the same time, most working parents encounter significant barriers to finding affordable, high-quality child care.
The cost of child care is increasing squeezing middle class families and has become unaffordable for many low-income families. Child care is a major household cost and it is increasingly eating up a larger portion of the family budget. The average annual cost of full-time care in a center is over $10,000, with some areas topping $16,000. Between 2000 and 2012, a typical middle class family saw child care expenses rise by $2,300 while wages remained stagnant. The situation is even more dire for families living in poverty; among those that pay for child care, they spend over one-third of total income on child care.
Perhaps because so many families face the need for child care and the inability to pay for it, improving access to quality, affordable child care is shaping up to be a key issue in the 2016 election. Hillary Clinton has called child care a critical economic issue and proposes making “quality, affordable child care” a national priority. Bernie Sanders recently criticized the current approach to child care as inadequate and called on better training and pay for child care providers. Likewise, Martin O’Malley proposes increasing access to safe and affordable child care as a means to closing the opportunity gap for future generations. As the election grows closer, Republicans will also need to address this growing burden for families.
In addition to cost constraints, parents are also likely to encounter few options for quality care, especially in low-income neighborhoods that are largely “service deserts” when it comes to finding good child care. High-quality child care often costs significantly more and may not be available in low-income or rural areas. Child care for infants under age one is especially hard to find and expensive, as young children require more intensive caregiving and specialized equipment like cribs.
The current child care subsidy system, funded through the Child Care and Development Block Grant, or CCDBG, provides an average annual benefit of $4,900 for a child care center which is rarely adequate for families to purchase high-quality child care. However, after decades of brain research we now know that children need access to nurturing and enriching environments from birth that support healthy development and early learning.
The fuck?oh no!..another "crisis"...we can't have this! Pass some more laws!
Just more "government" by Hegelian Effect...with some Cloward-Pivens and Alinsky thrown in
.
"...the State 'has the supreme right against the individual, whose supreme duty is to be a member of the State... for the right of the world spirit is above all special privileges.'"

Where will you find the money to pay for this extremely expensive new program?

He doesn't care..he's a school boy and mommy is paying his way..
HE doesn't even PAY any taxes..so naturally he's an expert on how to spend tax money.
of course there's always the possibility he's a sock for one of these hyperpartisan progressives with their cute little clown avatars...

You know a mom, who had a child with a man who stuck around could probably just stay at home and watch the child herself. Or maybe he would do it, or possibly they both could pay for it or cover for each other.This worries me, we need to expand our help given to families with children, the article shows some proposals:
