Cities across the US are raising taxes to expand access to child care for low-income families. In New Orleans, a property tax increase led to over 1,000 additional child care seats for families. Parents who benefit from these programs say that the free child care has "changed my life". This trend is growing as cities recognize the importance of affordable child care for working families.
