North Carolina weighs future of early childhood system
Original: North Carolina spent decades building an early childhood system. What will it take to sustain it?
North Carolina has spent decades building an early childhood education system covering care, pre-kindergarten programs and support for families across the state. A new report examines what it would take to keep that system running, from stable funding to a shrinking workforce. Educators and policymakers are debating how to protect these gains as federal pandemic relief money runs out and child care providers struggle with low pay and rising costs.
Why now: Pandemic-era child care funding is expiring, raising concerns about sustaining long-built early childhood programs.
