Childcare is infrastructure.
When childcare is unaffordable or unavailable, families lose choices about work, school, health, and rest. That makes childcare a systems issue, not only a private family problem.
Childcare shapes far more than a family’s daily schedule. It affects whether parents can work, study, rest, attend appointments, and respond to emergencies.
When care is inaccessible or unaffordable, those limits ripple across a family’s health, stability, and options. That makes childcare a systems issue, not only a private family responsibility.
