As businesses around the country struggle to hire the teams they need to grow, part of the solution lies in early childhood education.
What do child care and business growth have in common? Everything, as I told lawmakers I met on the Hill last week.
Even before the pandemic, an estimated half of all American families lived in “child care deserts,” communities where there simply is not enough child care to meet demands. We lost thousands more child care providers during the COVID years, and as a result, parents – particularly lower income families and rural Americans – are often forced to forgo training or work outside the home at a time when their households need the money and the labor market is clamoring for them.
To meet labor needs and give children the caring support that neuroscience tells us they need for healthy brain growth, we need to make a greater collective investment in the infrastructure of child care in this count

Better idea — find a way to help one wage earner be sufficient to support a family. One works. One stays home. Child is homeschooled. Huge benefit to society.
They have basters in Oregon, don’t need daddy.
Will be Lesbo paradise soon.
Right up to the day an armed gang from Mexico, China or Russia decides to just roll over them.
Exactly!
It’s actually the opposite. Take away child care incentives and it will make sense for more mothers to stay home with their children through their preschool years. Probably more homeschooling too.
Win/win/win.
Grow the economy more equitably.
NOT more abundantly, NOT more efficiently, NOT even in the positive direction!
What the heck, shrink it to zero! That’s about as equitable as you can get!
Equal poverty for all. Except for the global elite. That’s what they want.
Exactly. Spend taxpayer money to enrich the Commie teachers’ unions and PC education consultants.
Why would I want to grow the economy more equitably?
How can that actually work?
Go back to the old neighborhood concept. The government just had to “institutionalize” child care. It’s a heavy cost with no gain.

All children should have a right to be nurtured without social, financial, or racial bias.
Bias will undoubtedly occur as they get older and get out into the world and are exposed to other people, who have their own biases.
The selection of who teaches them, and where, will determine how they respond socially, spiritually, or to the economy
whether that be a parent, school teacher, or peer group.
WTH does equitably even mean??Lefties can’t describe it.
+100
Leftists are still using the word “invest” even though they have stripped it of any true meaning
How about teaching ambition, determination and drive?
We have been “investing” in early childhood for decades, all to the detriment of the very children those investments portend to assist. The best thing for children would be to be raised in a two-parent home with parents who have, at the minimum, a high-school education. However, we have abandoned education in basic fundamentals of reading and writing and instead promote indoctrination in Marxism.
Therefore, the parents live in separate homes with tax-payers paying their support, the children have no stability or discipline, and all remain uneducated.
‘“child care deserts,” communities where there simply is not enough child care to meet demands...’
What, aren’t 50% of the population in those communities women?
Ping, to post #11
This article is an example of illegitimate newspeak, where the far left unilaterally redefines words to mean the exact opposite of what they actually mean. Equity and equality are NOT THE SAME THING. MORONS.
The article totally misses the point.
Who can you trust with your own children?
Homeschooling will pay huge dividends; but even more so to those who follow Christ in their daily lives.
