Making Child Care Subsidies Easier Makes Our Society Better
Abstract
Child care providers’ work has widespread benefits for their own families and for all of society, yet, their labor is systematically undervalued. Providers -- 96 percent of whom are women and 40 percent are people of color -- earn only $23,000 per year on average, despite working 64 hours per week and having more than ten years of experience. On top of these challenges, providers face heavy regulatory burdens that further complicate their jobs. Pie for Providers uses technology to help child care providers build stronger businesses. We offer a digital assistant built for overburdened small business owners that helps providers navigate government programs so they can increase their revenue and spend less time on administrative work.
