Colorado Kids Wait on Childcare, Bill Killed

Colorados Child Care Crisis: Thousands of Kids on Waitlists as Key Bill Fails - Senate Bill 180 aimed to create a state fund for childcare assistance, but it was killed, leaving over 14,000 kids from low-income families on waitlists. The program helps parents work by covering daycare costs, but its overwhelmed, needing $127 million a year to clear backlogs. Families are forced to choose between skipping work and going hungry or leaving kids in unsafe spots. Lawmakers plan to revisit the bill next session, with potential tweaks, while counties and advocates push for real change. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
