High Inflation Rates Are Making Child Care Costs Rise

Parents are feeling not only the rising costs of housing, feeding and clothing their families but also the inflation bite of higher day care bills.

For Kentucky working mother Kaelyn Query, the monthly bill for child care for her son is more than $800 a month. 

"It's a lot of money when you're talking about one parent paying for something," she said. "But it's, again, a necessity. I don't have the ability, with what I do, to keep him during the day." 

Across the country, parents are feeling not only the rising costs of housing, feeding and clothing their families but also the inflation bite of higher day care bills.
