Child Care Tax Credit

Childcare has a powerful effect on local economies, as the affordability of childcare in many ways dictates whether parents participate in the workforce or remain at home to care for their children. Prior to the pandemic, childcare was already becoming financially impractical for many parents with the rising costs of care. The pandemic exacerbated this issue with many childcare centers shutting down, thus driving costs up as the number of childcare resources available to parents decreased.
