Opinion | 'Little about the child-care crisis has changed in three years, with pandemic effects still looming.'
The child-care crisis just keeps getting worse.
More than half of Americans live in a child-care desert, where there are three or more children under 5 for every child-care spot available. That’s why I’m hoping the Early Childhood Alliance — a Longmont-based group of more than 70 concerned citizens that have been working on a local child-care challenge for about three and a half years — will succeed in its effort to place a measure on the November ballot that would establish a taxing district to meet the need for more child care, primarily in Boulder and Weld counties.
And yes, the alliance’s goals will tie in neatly with Gov. Jared Polis’ and the Legislature’s upcoming free, universal preschool throughout Colorado. Colorado families with 4-year-olds will have access to free preschool in fall 2023. The alliance desires that “every child insured from birth to be school-ready when they enter kindergarten.”• The U.S. economy could get a $1 trillion boost in 10 years if female labor market participation grows to the levels of other countries. Right now, too many women don’t work because there’s nobody to care for their children.
