(Excerpt)
“Stephanie Schmit, director of child care and early education at the Center for Law and Social Policy, a Washington, DC-based antipoverty nonprofit, said while the federal government gives states child-care grants, that money has never come close to meeting the need, and most states struggle to find revenue sources to subsidize child care for low-income families. New Mexico, for example, recently used its land grant fund, which gets money from oil and gas production, to subsidize child care.”
