future of child care
by concerned
Nov 11, 2009
I am just wondering what everyone thinks about the future of child care. In my small rural community the Head Start has partnered with the school and they take families from all economic levels. Now that these families get preschool for free they don't want to pay daycare for holding their spot while the child is at HS. So many are turning to relatives or friends for free daycare. Will licensed child care be a thing of the past unless it can be offered for free to families? What do you all think?

I have heard that if schools have prek they can count those kids towards enrollment and it will help with funding. If that's the case it could be beneficial to them to take on as ...See More

montmo I would not be too concerned about that happening. These programs(Head Start and the schools) are funded by the government and we all know that the stimulus money is going to run out eventually and something is going to give. When the economy turns around the relatives doing the free day care will be going back to work and the parents will have to ...See More
