The average cost of child care is now $11,000 per child, according to Child Care Aware of America.
In July, the Isenhours, who live in Iowa, said they were recently left scrambling for child care for their two kids, ages 4 and 2, when they found out their day care was abruptly closing.Good Morning America
The day care center the Isenhours' children attended relied partially on child care assistance from the state of Iowa, but that wasn't enough to keep the center open, according to Isenhour. that 35 out of 52 kids at the facility were on Child Care Assistance from the state, and that didn't provide the day care the full amount of funds it needed to keep its doors open."It's a really scary feeling," Taylor Isenhour said of the lack of child care options. "And then you have to scramble for care and hope that whoever you find is a reliable and trustworthy person to care for your kids.
That loss of funding brings with it the potential for many American families to lose access to child care, according to Susan Gale Perry, CEO of Child Care Aware of America, a nonprofit organization focused on making child care more affordable for all.
