Why is the childcare crisis such a big issue in South Dakota?

• Right now, many families can’t find affordable, high-quality childcare. Providers face staffing shortages, low wages, and high operating costs. Without action, we risk losing more childcare options.

 

How can communities support this work?

• By engaging in conversations, advocating for better policies, and supporting local childcare providers. We welcome community leaders, parents, and business owners to be part of this effort.
