“In an already struggling field, we cannot do this to our teachers. We cannot do this to our children and we cannot do this to working families.”
Without Child Care Stabilization Grant funds, many child care centers in our state and across the country will be forced to close their doors.By Katie Martinez | For The Salt Lake TribuneI have worked in early childhood education for more than 25 years, working as a director of a child care center for 10 years. I couldn’t have picked a more rewarding career. There aren’t many other jobs where you can walk into the room and have everyone cheering and clapping for you.
For centers to remain in business without stabilization grant funds, we are forced to pass the cost on to parents by increasing the cost of tuition. This has already begun and, as providers, we struggle with raising tuition for parents because we know that they can’t afford it. Infant rates alone are close to a mortgage payment for many and when you add multiple children, tuition is much more than a mortgage payment for most.
Another dilemma we face is the inability to pay teachers what they truly deserve. Teachers in child care make on average between $12 to $18 per hour, that’s less than some fast food workers. Yet the work that teachers do in child care is invaluable. They do so much more than most people realize, and they are definitely not just “babysitters’' despite some public opinion.
