One of the first things Fletcher and her husband discussed when they learned their family of three was growing into five was trying to figure out child care. Her daughter’s childcare costs roughly $1,000 a month.
“The number of working parents and caregivers who said child care problems forced them to miss work in the previous week had never been higher than 60,000 before the pandemic. However, that threshold was eclipsed repeatedly beginning in 2020, hitting a record 104,000 in October 2022,” the report said.
Workforce Solutions offers scholarships to parents that meet income requirements and pays for a portion of their child care costs. However, the agency is facing a significant backlog. When parents visit the group’s website, they’ll come across a waitlist notification letting them know the agency is “processing applications from September 2022.”This is why Fletcher has had to turn parents away because while she said they’re compassionate, they can’t wait months for payment.
The organization attributes the backlog to several factors: pandemic disruptions, increase in demand, low unemployment, and inflation. Whenever the program gets back into operation, Fletcher believes there needs to be a large discussion on child care costs.
