In Maine, better than half of our children, children aged birth to 12 years require some form of child day care, just so their parents can work. This means that more than 130,000 Maine children need child care, every day.
When asked what they felt would be the policy measure which would have a “direct positive influence” on their lives, 90% of those Mainers asked stated “Affordable Child Care.” Today, affordable child care is considered essential to all working parents.
