SPOKANE, Wash. The child care industry was already spread thin before the pandemic. Now, it’s about to get worse as centers are having a tough time finding qualified workers.
This is the latest of many industries having issues finding employees. But, Colleen Condon, the owner of Lilac City Early Learning Center, told 4 News Now this was an issue before the pandemic. It’s just even worse now.
Over the pandemic, the child care industry was struggling, too. It thought it would get hit with a wave of families needing help, but it didn’t. Many parents ended up working from home and watching their kids, too.
