Lakethia Clark, a longtime child care worker, left her job due to low pay and high stress, opting to become a hospital housekeeper. Despite this, she missed caring for children and now plans to start her own home-based child care business in Alabama. Clark is part of the 3by3 program, led by Holly Glasgow, aiming to expand small, family child care homes to address Alabama’s significant child care shortage. Glasgow’s initiative blends funding from various sources to support these businesses, recognizing child care as crucial for economic growth and workforce participation in the state.
