Groundwork Ohio joined central Ohio leaders for a discussion on the impact of the child care crisis on families and the workforce.

Knox County faced a child care shortage before COVID-19 hit, but the problem has worsened since the pandemic started.

Nearly 1.8 million women have left the workforce since the onset of the pandemic and many with children under 5 have yet to return.

Ohio is facing dual crises: a workforce crisis and a child care crisis.

Commissioner Julie Ehemann shares what leaders in Shelby County are doing to help more families access quality child care.

The recent explosion of COVID-19 cases has put an already fragile child care system into an even more precarious position.
