Childcare is the activity of taking care and looking after
children from the age of 6 weeks to the age of 13-14. Childcare cost varies from state to state, for instance, studies shows that in more than half of the
US states childcare annual expenses costs more than a public college tuition
not to mention that in college you can have some sort of financial aid or a
scholarship.
First of all, childcare centers gives the children some sort
of social competence, they teach them on how to interact with others and they
educate them on how they should behave around others. Moreover, hard working
parents should have access to childcare facilities, because it can help them
have a second job or maybe a full-time job and this will contribute to some savings
for any kind of other expenses to support their families. In addition, the harder
parents’ work the more they are likely to contribute to the economic growth, childcare shouldn’t
be one of the reasons of why parents do not work. But if we look at it on the
other side, if someone can’t afford taking care of a child they shouldn’t have
one in the first place and moreover providing childcare by the government means
everyone have to pay higher taxes and the way it is now taxes are already high
enough
Finally, yes I think the government should provide childcare
services free of charge for every working parent, they should help the people
at work since the people working are playing a major role in the national
economy, yet they should help the people in need and not people who will try to
take advantage of such a situation, limits should be set and childcare should
be provided to anyone who needs it.
