Child care isn’t just a family concern. It’s a business issue. Behind every workforce statistic are real families making tough choices about work, career growth, and child care. In Delaware and across the country, the cost, availability, and quality of child care directly impact whether parents can work, take promotions, or stay in the labor force at all. In this episode, Kelly is joined by Madeleine Bayard from Rodel, and Carrie Leishman from the Delaware Restaurant Association, to explore how affordability, access, flexibility, and quality in child care affect Delaware’s workforce challenges and opportunities.
