Child care in Alaska is expensive and hard to find.
Lawmakers are debating the issue. Child care centers are struggling to hire. Caught in the middle are families trying to find affordable care for their kids.
As Alaska Public Media continues to cover Alaska’s child care crisis, we want to hear from you.
