Nebraska’s launching Child Care Can — a bold, multi-year plan to fix the state’s child care crisis by treating it as essential infrastructure for families, workers, and businesses. With one bill already passed to extend funding, lawmakers know more is needed: they’re pushing for tax credits, dedicated state funding, and long-term solutions to help parents like Kale and Jessica Pallas navigate chaotic care schedules — and providers like Quentin Brown who can’t afford to cut prices while families can’t afford to pay. The economic cost? $1.6 billion in lost labor. This is just the start — but Nebraska’s determined to build a stronger future, one kid at a time.
