BATON ROUGE- As federal unemployment money is set to stop at the end of July, daycare workers are experiencing an influx in calls from parents trying to get child care. Due to everyone going back to work I feel it s been a high demand for child care, we probably get about 4 to 5 calls a day asking if we have opened, said Elizabeth Andry, owner Southside Child Development Center.
Also, it s July right before school lets back in but also when lots of parents return to work. At Southside daycare, last year was slow while this year they ve reached their capacity.
