Childcare advocates are hoping Florida legislators will look at making childcare more affordable for working parents in the upcoming legislative session.
When faced with the question of returning to work after the birth of her daughter Willa, the Ponte Vedra mother found even with the discounted rate that came with her line of work, her family was unable to afford the $750 to $950 weekly cost of childcare.
“With a rising minimum wage, in our state the federal poverty level is probably not the best place to pin eligibility. It just doesn’t make sense for the economy in our state,” said Thakur. “They’re gonna be the best parent first, you hope,” said John Birney, CEO of JBirney Financial in Flagler Beach.
“And again, we need people working. We need the best people working and doing the best at their jobs and not to put a wall up in front of them being able to be the best employee,” said Birney.
