Colorado’s child care system is under enormous strain:  Families struggle to find care at all  Licensed care in Boulder County costs about $19,000 per child annually, the highest in the state  Child care workers remain underpaid  Providers are financially fragile  Federal funding that helps families afford care is under threat This week, Shay introduces a new four-part reporting series on child care in Colorado, produced with journalist Andrea Steffes Tuttle and funded by Gary Community Ventures.. As Andrew puts it: “I don’t notice it because it’s super awesome. I notice it because it’s a broken system.” Andrea and Shay also hope to turn the reporting series into a print zine that can reach community spaces beyond traditional newspaper audiences. If you’d like to help fund that project, they’d love to hear from you. Bonus content Listen to the extended interview with Andrew Hyde at Patreon.com/BoulderFrequencyPod.
