Child care is more than a family issue. It is workforce infrastructure. In this episode, Nikki talks as a mother, a worker, and someone who meets parents across Georgia who are working full-time yet still struggling to afford care. She explains how child care impacts employment, business growth, teacher retention, and overall economic stability in every county. Nikki also breaks down what leadership could look like and how she plans to make child care part of workforce planning if elected as Labor Commissioner.

This episode is for parents, educators, child care workers, business owners, and anyone who believes work should not require choosing between a paycheck and your children.
