Childcare that is both profitable and has everything that parents are looking for is hard to come by and yet it is necessary for working parents. Parents who work do so because they have bills to pay and must provide for their kids. However, it’s hard finding good childcare and especially within travel distance.  “According to the U.S Department of Health and Human Services, in a study conducted by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the majority of American daycare providers ranked fair or poor and only 10% were deemed of high quality.” Parents who can not afford expensive child care have to settle for less or find other means of childcare. That usually means hiring a teenager who may or may not cook lunch for your child or one parent having to stay home. Americans spend a ton of money on childcare and yet parents can’t get what they pay for. Parents should be provided world-class childcare so that both mom and dad can work and know their child is being well taken care of. 

A lot of daycares are underfunded and have to charge parents more than what they should pay. “According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, child care workers earn even less than home health care workers.” If childcare workers were taken more seriously and made to get licenses and professional training daycares could get more funding. Parents would pay to have their children go to daycares with licensed professionals. The children would not be the only ones to benefit from this so would parents. Parents can be reassured that their children are receiving the best care and that their money is not being wasted.
