American middle class families are struggling to pay for child care and its increasing costs.

COVID-19 disrupted the formal child care industry.

Many Daycare centers have closed and those providers still serving their communities have raised their fees to cover new safety measures -while competing for the few teachers willing to work.

Meanwhile, parents scratch their heads wondering how can they afford it.

We begin our series The Child Care Crisis with CGTN’s Nitza Soledad Perez, who explores the costs of child care for parents in Miami, Florida.
