KSPR:

A lot of parents out there make too much money to qualify for state aid but don’t make enough to afford full-time childcare. In the recession, many are turning to a relative.

“What we’re seeing in the middle-income level, or lower income level families, is that they are having to pull their children out of childcare,” says Jo Kirchner, President and CEO of Primrose School Franchising Company.

Childcare can cost as much as rent.

“The average cost of an infant for a childcare center in the U.S. is from $4500 to $15-thousand,” says Linda Smith with the National Association of Childcare Resource and Referral Agencies.

Help is available. You can start by seeing if you qualify for child-care subsidies.

“In the stimulus package, the administration doubled the money from $2 billion to $4 billion to go for childcare subsidies in this country,” says Smith.
