Boulder County is putting childcare funding on the ballot this year

Boulder County will add a childcare funding measure to the November ballot, which would raise $30 million via a 2.579 mill property tax increase to subsidize care costs, boost teacher pay, and expand infant and toddler slots. Supporters, including parents and social workers, highlighted childcare affordability crises, long waitlists, and the impact on family decisions, while opponents might focus on tax concerns.
