Wisconsin daycares could serve 33,000 more kids

The short answer to how Wisconsin daycares could serve 33,000 more kids? Hire more people to take care of those children. It’s a seemingly obvious answer to a problem that many family advocates in recent years have reached crisis level.

Almost 60% of child care providers across the state have unused capacity—closed classrooms—because of staff shortages. Providers report that if they were able to operate at full capacity, they could serve up to 33,000 more kids.
