Show Notes
Lawmakers in Washington state propose cuts to the Working Connections Child Care program, threatening to shut down centers and exacerbate child care deserts in rural Eastern Washington. New bills aim to save money by changing how providers get paid, but child care providers worry about covering costs when kids are absent. The governor and some lawmakers support a survey to set rates based on real costs, while providers hope for a more sustainable solution.
