Mary Coogan, President and CEO of Advocates for Children of New Jersey, joins Steve Adubato to examine affordable, accessible childcare and the need for stronger investment in mothers and children.

Adubato asks Coogan, what the number one childcare challenge in the state is at the end of 2024. Coogan responds, “Affordable childcare, in which you have workers who are paid a wage that keeps them at that childcare center. Centers are struggling to find staff that will stay, and parents are trying to find childcare centers that they can afford.”
