The next time the Wisconsin GOP talks about supporting hard-working families, ask them about their lack of support for child care

 
Headline:  Wisconsin State Journal, 6/16/2023
“Child Care Counts is the only thing that has really kept our doors open during this time,” Skidmore said. “And it’s frustrating because we have waitlists a mile long, but I have rooms that sit empty because I can’t get the teachers, and I can’t get the teachers because of the pay. The only thing that has helped right now has been the (federal) funding.” 
A recent national survey of early childhood educators, which included responses from 1,173 Wisconsin child care providers, found that 63.3% of Wisconsin centers have staffing shortages and that 79.8% of workers are facing burnout and exhaustion. Conducted by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, the survey also indicated that 32.1% of child care center owners would consider leaving their job or closing their program in the future if economic conditions don’t improve.
