AZCentral: Summer Child Care Costs Strain Arizona Families
Arizona ranks among the least affordable states in the nation in terms of summer child care costs, according to a recent report. It comes from the left-leaning Center for American Progress, listing Arizona as the third least-affordable state. According to the report, which uses data from the Afterschool Alliances “After 3 PM” survey, a typical Arizona family of four spends $4,382 on summer child care. That’s 33 percent of the income earned during the summer by average Arizona families of four.
