New Mexico is now officially the first state to offer free child care to all residents.
Under the program all families, regardless of income, can get their child care fees covered.
Proponents say the program will help the economy, improve education, and boost child welfare.

wrote an entire video script that would do way better for something like GameXplain or even converting into a written article than it would for me in my personal capacity. i think i may need to go back to the drawing board.
