Tackling the Child Care Workforce Crisis: A County-Led Solution
This webinar is available on-demand. If you have any difficulty accessing the recording, please email nacomeetings@naco.org.
Counties across the nation are facing a child care workforce crisis that limits affordability and accessibility for families' child care needs and economic growth. In this session, King County, Wash., and its partners will share how they piloted a wage boost program that supports over 800 child care workers. The Pilot will study staff retention, program stability, worker wellbeing, and what it means to have meaningful public investment in workers serving families across the county. Join us to explore practical lessons, cross-sector partnerships, and strategies your county can adapt to strengthen its own child care workforce.
