TAMPA, Fla. — According to the Center for American Progress, nearly 68% of children in the U.S. have all available parents in the workforce, and a lack of affordable childcare care can lead to parents working fewer hours, in less demanding roles or leaving the workforce entirely.

It’s a problem that millions of families across the United States are facing. Now, many are looking to the presidential candidates to see how they plan to tackle the problem.

A Florida mother of three, Raena Boston is like so many others who face high costs of daycare.

“I think we spend about $1,000 a month, maybe a little over that, for our daycare expenses,” she said.

Boston said and husband both have full-time jobs and need daycare to work, and that is the cost for just one child. She said the high cost of care has forced her family to cut back on other expenses and skip vacations.

“The struggle is real and we really need to invest so people can contribute to the economy in ways they want to provide for their families,” Boston said.

She is also the co-founder of the Chamber of Mothers, an organization that advocates for affordable child care and paid leave on the local and national level.

“We are really advocating for both candidates to have something more than a concept of a plan," Boston said. "To really come up with something robust that they can share with the American people. Child care is a kitchen table issue."

Very few details have been provided by either candidate. Democratic Presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris has mentioned expanding the Child Care Tax Credit by as much as $3,600. Families of newborns can get upwards of $6,000 in the child’s first year.

Former President Donald Trump has also mentioned expanding the tax credit. During his presidency, he did expand the child tax credit and established paid leave for federal employees. But he has mentioned little about what he would do in a second term.
