Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Choosing a person to care for a child is a big decision for any parent. But in the Washington region, that decision is further complicated by sky-high costs, long waiting lists, and a lack of quality caregivers. Join Kojo as we look at how families across the income spectrum are affected by these challenges, and what policymakers are doing to ease the child care shortage.
