Investment in quality child care is an investment in our future
Parent Fees Circulate in Local Economy
Child care has a multiplier effect. On average, for every dollar spent on child care, an additional dollar is generated elsewhere in the regional economy (2.0 output) and for every new employee in child care, in an additional half job is created in the wider economy (1.5 employment output). These multiplier effects are due to purchases from other sectors by providers and employees. (Dr. Mildred Warner, City and Regional Planning, Cornell University)
