Earlier this week, Child Care Aware\u00ae of America released their annual report, The U.S. and the High Cost of Child Care<\/u><\/em><\/a>,
\n providing data on the state of child care affordability.\n <\/p>\n

Findings show that child care is exceedingly high in every state \u2014 even more expensive than housing. In Alaska the cost of child care can be
\n more than college.<\/p>\n

This high cost of care can be an economical and emotional burden for families not just in Alaska, but everywhere. Read the report.<\/a>\n <\/p>\n
