Child care affordability and availability crisis
Prince George's County
Summary
Infant care runs about $1,500 a month — rivaling rent — and the state's child care scholarship has been frozen since May, locking families out of subsidies. The council advanced a four-bill package plus a work group to expand seats, fund facilities, and protect parents from predatory contracts.
