People are getting vaccinated, and soon, employees could be headed back to the workplace.

According to a study by LendingTree, the lack of child care is a two-fold problem: there are fewer options and rising costs. It s costing a lot more for these facilities to get up to standards that people now want out of these facilities, whether it s just cleanliness or whether it s keeping up with government regulations, said Matt Schulz, chief credit analyst at LendingTree.
