Putting a baby and a 4-year-old into a child care center cost more than the annual median rent in every single state.
It is no surprise to parents that child care costs are getting costlier and costlier, according to a new report. It costs families more to put an infant in a child care center than to cover tuition and fees at a public college in more than half of the states, according to a new analysis by Child Care Aware of America, a nonprofit advocacy group focused on child care access.
