    Hawaii’s Childcare Shortage Is One of the Nation’s Worst

    Hawaii has the nation’s worst childcare shortage, with 96% of children living in childcare deserts—communities where three kids compete for one licensed seat.

    Dozens of families in Nashville’s childcare deserts could soon get a daycare spot

    Equally Created, a nonprofit daycare organization, is opening two new facilities in Nashville's North Nashville and Modera Nations, adding over 200 childcare spots for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years. The initiative aims to address childcare shortages in underserved areas, with one location converting a former dollar store and the other being the first daycare in an apartment complex.
