Wisconsin child care costs soar, but thousands miss out on state aid Child care costs more for some families than housing. Despite the strain, 39% fewer children receive state aid than 13 years ago.

Associate Prof @arpilarz.bsky.social quoted:

โ€œIf youโ€™re eligible for a subsidy and thereโ€™s just no child care in your community, or no providers that accept subsidies, thatโ€™s going to make it a lot harder for you to actually participate in (Wisconsin) Shares."
