Free childcare in New Mexico: Families worry about capacity in new programme
Update: 2025-11-02
Description
New Mexico has become the first state in the US to offer free child care. The country has some of the highest child care costs in the world - averaging about 12 thousand dollars per child, each year. That means many Americans choose to leave the workforce to look after their children, or - decide not to have kids. Al Jazeera’s Heidi Zhou-Castro reports from Santa Fe, New Mexico.
