Finding affordable child care is a challenge across Wisconsin, even more so in rural areas. There are many places where there are more children than what a child care provider can support.

Priya Bhatia is the Administrator for the Division of Early Care and Education at the Department and she shares with me what the greatest challenges are to rural healthcare and how they are trying to make this less of a struggle for families.
