New Mexico's Universal Child Care: Risking Family Independence
The recently enacted initiative promises state-funded vouchers to cover child care fees for all families, allegedly liberating them to pursue work or education.
However, beneath this liberal veneer lies a challenging reality. The state faces the daunting task of creating 14,000 new child care slots and recruiting nearly 5,000 additional educators.
State Rep. Rebecca Dow noted that the plan "lacks capacity" and will likely leave many families disappointed.
She asserted that rather than expanding government-funded child care, the state should consider family tax credits to incentivize mothers to stay at home, providing children with a stable environment.
