I concur with the previous comment regarding childcare.
My family moved to PC a little over a year ago. I almost had to quit my job because of the lack of childcare. I could only get my then 3 month-old into one school, which takes over an hour to drop-off and pick-up each way due to location and traffic. I'd like to get my now 1 year-old into a different school more convenient school, but I'm stuck on the waiting lists.....or I don't want to fork over the $600-$1,000 application fee without a guarantee of getting my child into the next school session.
This lack of childcare resources is potentially going to drive my family out of Park City.
Please consider an investment in our youngest community members and us! (their hard working parents). It will be crucial to keeping working young families in our community.
We are part of the local workforce and part of the 83% of parents with children under 5 who rely on childcare. We are part of the 66% of parents paying more than 10% of our income on childcare. With the new tuition increase announcements, we will be paying more like 18% of our income on childcare starting in July.
We have 2 children under 5 and rely on child care to do our jobs in this community. And we would like to BOTH continue to be contributing members of this community. As the cost of childcare continues to increase, and this year on a severely drastic level, families like mine cannot afford to stay in this community without the support of the city.
Please support early childhood care stabilization to make up for the grants that are disappearing on the federal level, help stabilize our childcare centers, and lessen the burden on families.
