Children Need Quality Child Care,
Even in a Recession
The current economic recession makes child care
choices even more difficult for parents. CCR&Rs report
that parents are moving their children from licensed
programs to informal child care settings. These options
may be less expensive, but they are of unknown quality.
There is no check for basic health and safety standards
and other practices that promote healthy
child development.
NACCRRA is concerned about whether children will be
safe and will start school with the skills to succeed.
Full-time employment among families with children
under age 6 and among families with school-age children
ages 6 to 12 has declined since 2008. While full-time
employment is lower, part-time employment
has increased.
Care during nontraditional hours, part-time care and
temporary care are all difficult to find and consequently
tend to be more expensive.
The high cost of child care forces parents to make
difficult decisions. Parents want high-quality child care
for their children. Unfortunately, safety, health and
school readiness comes at a cost that many parents
cannot afford.Virginia, Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Suffolk, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Hampton, Newport News, Poquoson, Williamsburg, nanny, childcare, babysitter, sitter, live-in, au pair, provider, AuPairCare, nannies, children, child, kids, multiples, twins, triplets
