Making Child Care More Affordable
Anne Kim, Mark Donnell, Tess Stovall
The cost of quality child care has skyrocketed, and many families pay more than the price of one year’s tuition at an in-state college tuition on child care costs. With more mothers working than ever before, child care is a necessity. By doubling the child care credit, middle-class families could receive a bigger tax break to cover the rising costs of child care. This module lays out the problem of rising child care costs, outlines how to respond and provides suggestions to roll out your plan to the public.
