A 4C for Children survey shows child care programs continue to struggle with staffing issues that result in needing to close classroom. Recently, WLWT highlighted this issue in an interview with Vanessa Freytag, 4C for Children president and CEO.
“Unfortunately, we hear stories of many families who are expecting a child, and they do have to put their name on a waiting list, typically nearly the minute that they find out that they are pregnant,” Vanessa Freytag said in the June 12 segment.
4C for Children deployed a survey to local child care administrators in February that focused on staffing and its impact on providing child care to children and families.
The survey data showed that due to the lack of teachers more than 4,000 infant, toddler, preschool and school-age children in Southwest Ohio and Miami Valley can’t access quality early learning.
