Welfare cuts hinder access to quality child care nationwide
The 1998 Kids Count survey shows welfare rolls shrink while low income families struggle to find affordable, quality child care. Average annual child care costs hover around $4,000 per child, with working poor children most at risk from inadequate programs. Many parents work non traditional hours creating scarce, unavailable care options. The report by the Annie E. Casey Foundation highlights access gaps despite some families finding jobs. It notes higher low birth weight in DC and overall state rankings on child health factors.
