That\u2019s why this is like a national crisis at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lendingtree.com\/debt-consolidation\/child-care-vs-rent-study\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">recent analysis<\/a> of the 100 largest U.S. metro areas found that the cost of child care for a family with two young children is more expensive than the average rent in each respective market. <\/p>\n<p>Care for one child costs, on average, about 25 percent less than rent, according to the data from LendingTree. That changes with the addition of a second child, pushing child care costs up to more than double that of the average rent for a two-bedroom apartment in markets like Omaha, Nebraska, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. <\/p>\n<p>The numbers are much the same as they were last year, according to the analysis, with average rent prices increasing slightly. The national average price tag of care for one child has increased by about $3,700 since 2017, coming to about $13,100 per year in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Despite rising costs, child care workers are not feeling those increases reflected in their paychecks. It\u2019s a sector that <a href=\"https:\/\/cscce.berkeley.edu\/publications\/press-release\/five-years-after-covid-19-a-struggling-child-care-workforce-faces-new-threats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">continues to struggle<\/a> with thin margins, low wages, retaining workers and insufficient subsidies. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"figure-iframe iframe iframe-landscape4x3 no-caption\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/BvNlW\/3\/\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n<h2>Managing Costs<\/h2>\n<p>Child care providers are caught between a rock and a hard place when it comes to deciding how to price their services, says Tyrone Scott, director of government and external affairs at First Up, an early childhood education advocacy group in Pennsylvania. <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s because they\u2019re trying to keep prices low enough for families to afford, which can be a struggle even with public-dollar subsidies, while paying their staff fairly. Scott says that the average wage for child care workers is $15 per hour in Pennsylvania, which is not enough to compete with big box retailers and convenience stores that offer a starting rate of $17 or more with no experience or degree required. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Wawa near me has a $5,000 signing bonus,\u201d Scott says of the retail chain. \u201cIf you are a high school student who just graduated, you can get $5,000 and start at $21 an hour where I&#8217;m at. So you are doing much better than our teachers, which is really problematic, obviously.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edsurge.com\/news\/2022-12-20-how-inflation-is-squeezing-early-childhood-educators\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Inflation<\/a> is another factor squeezing child care providers, Scott says, increasing the price of everything the food stocked in the kitchen to liability insurance \u2014 with some child care providers reporting that their insurance expenses have tripled. Those centers have to choose between eating the costs and taking in thinner margins or passing them along to parents by raising prices. <\/p>\n<p>Jasmine Bowles, executive state director of 9to5 Georgia, says Georgia\u2019s child care system has long been underfunded \u2014 despite politicians\u2019 crowing about the state\u2019s billions of dollars in <a href=\"https:\/\/gbpi.org\/georgia-starts-fiscal-year-2026-with-14-6-billion-in-general-fund-surplus-accounts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">budget surplus <\/a>funds. Administrative delays in state reimbursements to child care providers also force them to go without, she says, to ensure the learners in their care have everything they need. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen our care providers receive their class of students for the day, those babies still eat, even if [the providers] haven&#8217;t been paid from the state for a month or more,\u201d she says. \u201cThis really manifests itself in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edsurge.com\/news\/2025-12-09-more-than-half-of-child-care-providers-have-gone-hungry-new-report-finds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">housing, food, and health insecurity for the very caregivers<\/a> that our communities depend on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Emanuel says that Alabama\u2019s formula for calculating how much of child care costs the state will subsidize doesn\u2019t accurately reflect the cost, which leaves providers to figure out how to make up the difference. Those costs are often passed on to parents, but Emanuel says providers also apply for grants or take second jobs to keep their centers running.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause of the way the market rate survey dictates the reimbursement rates, a parent could be paying $400, but it&#8217;s actually costing the provider $900 a month for child care,\u201d she explains. \u201cMany of these women do child care full time, and they actually have side hustles in order for them to be able to provide child care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Child care providers are not spared from rising costs for their own kids, Emanuel says. One provider in her state reports paying 80 percent of her own income for care for her own children. <\/p>\n<h2>The Attitude Factor<\/h2>\n<p>With the widespread challenges in child care affordability, experts say that one barrier to getting more state funding to address the problem is both the public\u2019s and lawmakers\u2019 perception of child care \u2014 including who should be doing the caring. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think there is some old school mentality in some legislators that still believes children should be at home with their mothers \u2014 specifically mothers. Not fathers even, but mothers,\u201d Scott says. \u201cThat&#8217;s not the reality for a lot of families, whether you&#8217;re talking to a two-parent family or a single-parent family \u2014 most children need every available adult in the workforce to make ends meet. So there&#8217;s this myth that people don&#8217;t want to care for their own kids, or whatever, for lack of a better term, sexist trope that people put on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scott and Emanuel both say that there are large swaths of the public who don\u2019t see the benefit of their states subsidizing child care, be it support for working parents or the advantages of giving kids a strong start in their education. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that a lot of times in this state, people see child care as, \u2018You had the child, it&#8217;s your responsibility to pay for child care,\u2019\u201d Emanuel says. \u201cBut if the pandemic didn&#8217;t teach us anything else, it taught us that it is critical infrastructure because, without child care, people are not able to go to work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scott says one alliance that has helped get their message across is help from Pennsylvania chambers of commerce, who can describe how the lack of affordable child care options interferes with employees\u2019 ability to stick to their work schedules. <\/p>\n<p>Emanuel says there\u2019s another aspect of the debate over child care funding that can\u2019t be ignored: who is doing the work. <\/p>\n<p>Many Alabama child care centers are run and staffed by Black women, she says, whose labor has a long history of being undervalued. For child care providers, Emanuel says that means they are seen as babysitters rather than educators. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of the morale of these women is often times just diminished because everything about the system in child care, it&#8217;s saying to them repetitively that, \u2018We don&#8217;t value you,\u2019 and \u2018You aren&#8217;t important,\u2019\u201d Emanuel says, \u201cbecause when you do value a thing, then you&#8217;re going to tie the resources and the infrastructure in place to ensure a specific end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bowles echoed Emanuel\u2019s sentiments in Georgia, saying that the state\u2019s historical reliance on unpaid labor is a factor in the undervaluing of child care work. There\u2019s a disconnect between, she says, the desire of lawmakers to make the state appealing to businesses and policies that make life easier for workers \u2014 like affordable child care, health care and food. <\/p>\n<p>Beyond her role as an advocate, Bowles also has the perspective of someone who sits on the board of directors for her local school district in Georgia. After the start of the coronavirus pandemic, she had a front row seat to how schools grappled with students losing ground in their academic and social skills when in-person classes restarted. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we get our young people in the class, we start to see the impact of those learning gaps, and I think that was most keen in our earliest learners,\u201d Bowles says. \u201cMy district in particular has started to rethink a traditional public school district&#8217;s responsibility for [early childhood education]. We&#8217;re also starting to incorporate more pre-K classrooms, because it really is becoming the responsibility of all of us, not just day care centers, to close these gaps.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to the affordability crisis in child care, Lenice Emanuel says that it\u2019s forcing families to take a hard look at their budgets \u2014 no matter their income level.
