When Dallas lost her child care funding, we stepped in with a WomenGive scholarship, empowering her to balance work, studies, and parenting. “It’s a lifesaver,” she says. Read her full story: uwaylc.org/supporting-s...

Cost of child care for one child can be more than rent in some US counties blog.dol.gov/2024/11/19/n...
NEW DATA: Childcare costs remain an almost prohibitive expense
We updated our National Database of Childcare Prices with data from 2019-2022 and found that U.S. families spend between 8.9% and 16.0% of their median income on full-day care for just one child.

📊 Child care costs are skyrocketing

In Larimer County, CO, care costs $15,000+ a year. Many families spend 2–3x the recommended 7% of income.

This isn’t just a local issue—families everywhere feel the squeeze. What’s it like where you live?💬

We’re working to make child care accessible for all.

🌟 UWLC Impact Moment: 🌟

💰 Invested $295,000 in Colorado Reading Corps last year
📚 586 students received 1:1 tutoring
📈 80% exceeded growth targets!

One student started in the fall not knowing letter sounds but worked hard to hit spring benchmarks before winter break! ✨
