The U.S. child care “system” was teetering on the edge well before the coronavirus outbreak.
When the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act was last reauthorized in 2014, it came within order to get federal money. Those standards are still fairly weak. For example, states must have age-based rules about how many children can be watched by a single adult. But the federal law does not mandate what those ratios should be. Also, Congress did not provide the money to make the required quality improvements until 2018 when it approved an additional $2.
She’s also been cited multiple times by state inspectors for being over capacity or for having too many kids for each adult. She thinks her experience — nearly 20 years running a home-based day care — should earn her the right to care for more children. But Tilma didn’t change either of the toddlers’ diapers between nine and noon and her outdoor space was unusable that day because there was too much dog poop in the play area. Recently, she said, she got in trouble for not turning in her paperwork on time.
“If you’re working and making a certain amount, they won’t help you,” Haskins said. “So you’re stuck.” “The way things are going in terms of how expensive they’re getting, you can’t afford to pay for child care and pay to live,” Haskins said.
