Child Care

Kamala Harris on a recent TV interview spoke of the problems women face in trying to take care of their young children, and at the same time, to hold a job. The woman in question needs the job to be able to afford rent and food.

Why does not every office building have a childcare center? It’s cheap, easy, and each business in the building could contribute to the small amount that it would require to maintain such a center; it could solve the problem for working women who have preschool-age children. In smaller towns where they do not have office buildings, town centers could be used. This might also be an additional source of employment for women.

Every community should have child care centers for preschool-age children located in office buildings. A woman who goes to work can drop her child in the center and pick the child back up at the end of the work day. It would also allow the mother to visit her children during the day when she has free time.
