À propos de cet audio
The cost of child care is at an all-time high. The typical American family with young kids now spends more on child care than housing.
In most of the developed world, the government pays for child care so parents can work and contribute to the economy. But free, universal child care is nearly unheard of in the U.S.
At least it was until a few months ago. In November, New Mexico became the first state to launch free, universal child care.
On today's episode, what can Washington learn from a state that managed to pull it off?
GUEST:
Elizabeth Groginsky, Cabinet Secretary for New Mexico's Early Childhood Education and Care Department
