child care crisis

The Ashe County Chamber of Commerce hosted a discussion this week about the local economic impact of the statewide child care crisis.

The trainings are part of a statewide initiative to address staffing shortages in the child care field.

A state leader says a new program called NC Tri-Share could cut child care costs by 66% for some working families.

Leadership Winston-Salem is partnering with other local organizations to host a series of talks about the child care crisis. The first panel discussion took place on Thursday at Forsyth Technical Community College.
