That childcare is making so much money, because what they see is they're paying, you know, two thousand dollars a month, and for infant and toddler care, and they think well, they're just making so much money, and that is not the case, I mean, if you really break it down. But you know, I think that this is such an important topic to talk to parents about, because I have heard so many parents talk. Beth and I know that firsthand myself, just coming out of paying for child care for my son's first four years of life, and then best having kids in college,īeth Garza: but she's adding, and paid too much and for it right, right. According to these metrics, childcare rivals the cost of in-state college tuition, and it's more than the average rent price right? Now, So what gives? Why is it so expensive?Ĭarissa Orr: Yeah, I mean beyond being professionals. That's like seven hundred and forty bucks a month. Kyle Gnagey: I don't know the average childcare for a four-year-old right now is like almost nine thousand dollars a year. So, we, you know we a lot of times in thinking about whether or not vulnerable parents will work outside the home it's like Well, can one of our jobs cover the entire cost of child care, because that comes directly from us, and you know it's like I know that we've been together looking at a few um facts and figures that just came out recently, and just want to read out right now that something that Beth Garza, just, you know, sent to to Carissa, and I like child Care is not treated as a public good. Kyle Gnagey: That's really great, you know. They would have made me coffee this morning and done my hair for me would have been fun. We need to find the high quality childcare program that cares for cares more about children than the day.īeth Garza: I was thinking what it might mean. Um, we do lots of other things, and so we're from the primary caregiver, their child's first teacher, the first ones that love those sweet babies can't be with their level one. Where are they going instead? What should I be thinking about?Ĭarissa Orr: You might be thinking about? Where will your little ones be um safest and most loved when they're not with their primary caregiver um, and that would be in a childcare setting when they're not with mom and Dad, and we can't give, or their guardians um or family who can't give them our utmost attention, because we have another priority as well, which might be to focus on work which might be to focus on ourselves or care taking at home.
Should I be thinking about? What am I doing with my kids. I have a nineteen-month-old and a six year old no longer as a parent. Kyle Gnagey: I appreciate that so no longer as a parent. This is early childhood education, and we know too much now to be still using that word, Are we taking care of days? No, that that implies that that the day is more important than the child.īeth Garza: It implies that that this is a profession That that's not important that it's passive, that we have humans standing over children, and they are just waiting for the day to be over, because that's what they're caring for, and that's not what this is. And so, let's think about that daycare right? Our just like Carissa just said. Words are so powerful, and you can really gauge what society is thinking around. Isn’t it Kyle? Yeah.Ĭarissa Orr: what a prime opportunity at this back to school season, and Beth and I are celebrating our five-year re soversary of our dream job here at we racism.īeth Garza: So. So, what are your thoughts on daycare?īeth Garza: Yeah, It’s your children not day. So, I kind of want to start with a loaded question. Kyle Gnagey: Or course! Now, as you know, I've been deeply entrenched with much of your work with the rates already in this program, with strong beginnings with early childhood in general, and I’m just thrilled that you guys were able to take the opportunity to talk to me today about this work, and why it's important and kind of what we need,the fellow educators and the general public that listen to our podcast what they need to know about this area. Thank you, guys, both for joining us today. So excited to be joined today by two of our early childhood consultants, Carissa Orr and Beth Garza. Kyle Gnagey: Welcome to season three of getting to the core episode two.
