Montana faces significant challenges with child care shortages. Over 59% of counties are classified as child care deserts, where the supply meets less than a third of the demand. The lack of affordable, high-quality child care impacts Montana’s workforce, costing businesses nearly $55 million annually due to lower productivity, increased turnover, and recruitment challenges. This shortage limits workforce participation, particularly among parents, who struggle to find child care to support full-time employment. Not to mention what the lack of early childhood experiences does for kindergarten readiness, third grade scores, and ultimately our next generation of leaders.
