For a lot of parents, child care is essential and it hasn’t returned to where it was pre-pandemic.

And 38 per cent of home daycares could remain closed. Those that are re-opening, face a precarious financial future.
68 per cent say they're worse off than they were before. Mike Drolet looks at the rocky road to recovery of child care.
