A new survey finds the COVID pandemic continues to impact New Jersey parents with children under the age of 3, and limit their childcare options.
The Fairleigh Dickinson University poll finds that 65% of parents had their children in some kind of daycare while 45% relied on a relative.
Of the parents without childcare arrangements, about 54% were stay-at-home parents while 25% were worried about cost and another 23% were worried about COVID health risks.
Rich Higginson, the director of consumer research at the FDU Poll, said the pandemic also has an impact on mental health, with 63% of parents saying that their child being out of care has caused additional stress in their life.
