We all know that the sooner we have our children learning about life the better their development will be in the long run right? So then what do we do when we can’t provide that to our children? A lot of people look to child care to fill this gap. With the rising cost of child care and wages staying the same what is a struggling family to do? Well first off, why is child care going up? Is it that we are being lazier as Americans and raising the wages? Salaries are pretty much staying the same, so is this a career that people are choosing so that they can be home with families?
Those of us who need to use childcare but can’t afford the normal places that are out there are struggling big time. They are looking for different means of getting their children into places at an affordable rate. When you should be able to focus on how much your child is going to learn you have more people looking at the cost of that childcare. So it now becomes a matter of what do I owe you a week, instead of how much knowledge and learning actives do you plan on providing my child.
With this being the case in there was again a common trend that I saw in the videos. The individuals that were being interviewed had some sort of sob story. The second video where the lady missed the open window of time to report a status change lost her child care certificate. In the interview she says “I understand that there are time limits, but they should understand things happen.” I have a hard time dealing with people like that. I am more than confident to say that there was probably a large window of time for her to report this. People just think they don’t have to abide by rules like that. Unfortunately they do. Trust me I understand things happen, however, I am not a fan of how much money is thrown to child care. I understand that it allows for people to get out and work, but let’s first make sure we can afford children before having them. In a perfect world this would probably not even be an issue.

I agree, it's a shame that most of the bigger day care agencies cost a fortune because these children deserve a good learning experience so they are ready for school and have a good education. Children do need to learn and stay active in order to have a successful education but when you are poor it's harder to come by something like this.
