Connecticut's child-care industry is asking the state for $700 million in new funding in a bid to keep up with rising costs.
The Connecticut Early Childhood Alliance says the $700 million would include $250 million for wage increases, $170 million for health insurance, $200 million for increased access to Care4Kids, $30 million for scholarships and loan forgiveness for early childhood education degrees, and $50 million for construction and renovation of child-care facilities, the Day reports.
Child-care advocates say the industry needs the money because early childhood care is critical to the state's economic recovery.
