Abstract

Families across the United States are facing significant challenges due to the limited availability and affordability of high-quality early childhood care options for children under the age of 6. Child care access is especially challenging for those seeking to reenter the workforce. Rethinking child care, especially early childhood education, as health care is essential for achieving a better future and economic security for children, families, and caregivers across the U.S.
