Careless: Colorado’s Childcare Struggle
New Documentary From Rocky Mountain PBS
Worse than concert tickets or reserving camping spots, finding a spot in a childcare center in Colorado is harder than ever.
Rocky Mountain PBS has been following this childcare crisis for years, and has found families from around the state who are doing whatever they can to secure care. In Careless: Colorado’s Childcare Crisis, Rocky Mountain PBS also spoke to a handful of parents at playgrounds and parks around the state who shared their experiences with finding affordable childcare — and the tough choices they’ve been forced to make.
This original documentary was supported in part by a grant from Gary Community Ventures, which had no editorial influence.
