Childcare workers faced additional responsibilities during the pandemic, lost income when facilities closed and continue to have a higher risk of being exposed to COVID-19 because of the nature of their work.
Colleen West, KIRO 7 NewsSEATTLE — More than 12,000 King County child care providers are expected to receive one-time payments for retention bonuses totaling $7 million.
Nearly 90% of eligible licensed child care providers in King County applied for the retention payments. “Child care workers have served on the frontlines of our pandemic to ensure our city’s kiddos are cared for and safe, and that working families can continue to balance work and child care. Despite being in one of our state’s most underpaid professions, child care workers continue to show up for our community when we need it most,” said Seattle City Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda.
