North Carolina has one of the highest rates of working mothers with young children. Thus, the issue of childcare should be one of the state's top priorities. As the nature of North Carolina’s workforce changes, it becomes paramount that our community develops the necessary infrastructure and social framework to minimize the impact of change to families.

The North Carolina Forward Party will advocate for new government incentive programs in a similar fashion to that of religious-sponsored child care facilities as outlined in NC child care rules and laws; tax credit opportunities, which will minimize the state funded administration cost; and funding to establish new child care facilities.
