Roughly one in four children ages birth to 5 years are in childcare. There are also a significant number of children from 6 to 12 in childcare for before and after school services.

But they are poorly paid and now are seeing increasing demands for professional development, ranging from certificates to college degrees, with no possibility of increased wages.
