Although most offices and schools have reopened, the pandemic is still hurting child-care and after-school programs.
In the spring of 2022, after enduring a string of 10-day quarantines, Mckell James, a human resources director, and Corper, an employment attorney, decided to pull their son out of child care to try to keep the family healthy before the birth of their second child. Now, both children are on months-long wait lists at four child-care centers with no end in sight. When Mckell James had to return to work at the end of the summer, she and her husband hired a nanny for two days a week.
“We knew the pandemic put a huge strain on a system that was already strained, so this is just a continuous struggle that’s been made worse,” said Nina Perez, the early childhood national campaign director for MomsRising, a nonprofit advocacy group.
