What are the real costs of child care, and who is paying them? In a new series, reporter Kristen_Taketa investigates how California's system of support is falling short — & offers a practical guide for families on how to find & get help paying for care:
California has several subsidized child care programs that help families pay for child care and fund many of the state’s tens of thousands of child care providers.
But that aid reaches only a small fraction of families who need it — and providers, who aren’t paid enough to cover their costs, remain stretched to the limit. Much of the money that is set aside for child care, meanwhile, doesn’t even go to use. In this five-part series, to be published throughout January, San Diego Union-Tribune education reporter Kristen Taketa examines how the system is falling short, and who is paying the price. Check back throughout January for the latest stories.
