- Summary:
- Nearly 80 percent of mothers with pre-school age children are now in the work force. Yet, as this film shows, quality child care during these critical years is either unavailable or too expensive. Through the eyes of parents, providers, children and experts, this film examines the current child-care crisis. It shows that child care costs are generally the second highest expense of the typical American family, just below housing. Yet child-care providers earn so little that turnover is a staggering 40 percent a year.The film travels across the country showcasing model programs. Ranging from corporate on-site care to programs to assist welfare parents, we see that innovative solutions to the child-care dilemma are available.
