Vermont’s child care crisis

When it comes to finding child care in Vermont, the numbers tell a stark story:

  • 70% of Vermont kids have all available parents in the workforce
  • 80% of infants and toddlers likely to need child care in Vermont do not have access to high-quality programs
  • 90% of Vermont families cannot afford high-quality child care

A group of providers and parents share their stories about the crisis
and solutions around child care. (October 31, 2018 broadcast — NO AUDIO)
