I do agree something has to happen to give child care providers what they are owed. As both a mom and a provider at a center I see things from both sides. Yes providers deserve to be paid more but I can not afford to pay anymore than I am. I would have my child with me but I work for a state subsidized program that only accepts families who work in agriculture. I can not afford to go back to the private sector as the pay is significantly less. I think more large businesses need to add a dependent care subsidy to their benefit packages and the goverment needs to see that private centers and homes do get a share of the tax dollars ear marked for Early Childhood Education so that they can afford to be paid more.
