Child Care Providers Face Strain Amid Rising Costs

Written By QCC

Our President & CEO, Ellyn Cochran, sat down with 11Alive news to break down the findings from our latest Provider Pulse Survey, a statewide child care survey, and what it means for Georgia families.

From rising costs (infant care in Atlanta now tops $13,000/year!) to staffing challenges and limited access, the pressure on providers and parents is real, but so is the progress. Ellyn shares what QCC is doing to support providers across the state, how families can find quality care in their communities, and what policy solutions could make a difference for Georgia's youngest learners.
