Teaching Supplies & Child Care

Product Details

The child-care industry - essential to American families and to the American economy - is on the verge of collapse. Before COVID-19 struck, the child-care industry faced funding issues and staffing dilemmas, while families struggled to find - or simply afford - quality child care. The reality is that COVID-19 has only exacerbated the challenges of the already-fragile child-care ecosystem.



Child-care is a system that is too critical to fail - we cannot survive without it. Together, we can reimagine the child-care industry for all Americans whose livelihoods depend on it.



America's Child-Care Crisis takes a hard look at the current state of the industry and explores how to save this critical service by:
  • Identifying the systemic changes needed
  • Altering public opinion of the field
  • Securing state and federal dollars for the private sector
  • Prioritizing the growth of family child-care homes
  • Educating parents on quality care and helping them access it
  • Obtaining business support

Christopher ★★★★★

It’s rare to find a book that explains a systemic mess without losing you in jargon, and this one does it brilliantly—the section on staffing shortages alone made me rethink everything I assumed about daycare pricing. I’ve already passed my copy to two other parents.

Ruby ★★★★★

The way it breaks down the funding and staffing collapse before COVID makes the current crisis finally click for me. It’s sobering but well-structured, and I finished it feeling like I actually understand the root of the problem now.

Victoria M. ★★★★★

I've only made it through the first two chapters, but the way it frames child-care as a broken business model rather than just a social problem has completely shifted how I think about the industry. Even the footnotes alone feel worth the price for anyone working in early education.
