Early childhood education is facing a growing crisis — and funding is at the center of it. In this episode, we take a closer look at the financial challenges impacting child care programs, educators, and families across the country.

From shrinking budgets to difficult staffing decisions, we discuss how inadequate funding affects program quality, access, and sustainability — and what these challenges mean for the future of early learning. This conversation highlights the realities providers are navigating every day and why meaningful investment in early childhood education matters now more than ever.
