The shortages are leading to longer waitlists and more classrooms sitting empty with no teachers to staff them.
NEW GLARUS, Wis. (WMTV) - Child care providers across Wisconsin are facing a workforce shortage. As more parents go back to work, providers are struggling to hire enough staff to accommodate rising numbers of families seeking child care.
According to surveys conducted by Community Coordinated Child Care (4C), a nonprofit which provides support for child care, 19% of child care centers in Dane County reported leaving entire classrooms empty because they could not hire the teachers to staff them. In Rock County, that number is even higher at 26%.
