Childcare

We’ve all heard of “bring your child to work day,” but what if that day was every day? NBC 7’s Ashley Matthews has the story.

The San Diego County Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a child care blueprint to allocate a remaining $2 million in American Rescue Plan funding to address San Diego’s lack of affordable child care.

With the rise of free education, parents that prefer a private early childhood education option may find it more difficult to find one in the future.

The program is meant to bridge the gap between preschool and kindergarten. NBC 7’s Kelvin Henry has more on the story.

Because of round-the-clock shifts and overtime, one of the obstacles to recruiting and retention for the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department has been affordable childcare.

Child care and early education programs are a crucial part of children’s well-being and necessary for many families who have to work.

NBC 7’s Amber Frias sat down with a childcare provider who says the state subsidies she relies on to run her business aren’t enough.

The program’s goal is to get more people into a notoriously understaffed and underpaid workforce, and to improve the quality of early childhood education. 

“There’s really no excuse now,” one childcare worker said.
