With the average annual cost of child care in Wisconsin easily surpassing that of college, many families may struggle to afford child care. However, there are places they can turn to for help. A new report from Wisconsin Counties Association's Forward Analytics found child care for one child can average up to 18%-36% of a family's income. For families with two children, costs can reach as high as 70% of their income, the report said. These figures far exceed the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' 7% affordability threshold.
