Rodriguez proposes a 7% child-care cap
Her campaign says state grants would cover remaining costs and supported providers would pay at least $18 an hour.
Sara Rodriguez’s campaign released a plan to make child care more affordable and accessible for Wisconsin working families. The plan says families would pay no more than 7% of income for care, with the state covering the remaining cost through child-care affordability grants. The document presents these as steps Rodriguez would take as governor.
Sara will support a mixed-delivery system that includes center-based care, home-based providers, faith-based programs, and communities models, ensuring families can choose care that fits their schedules, values, and needs. Sara will ensure providers receiving state support will pay at least $18/hour, with clear pathways to higher wages and training. It also calls for low-interest loans and grants for providers to expand, renovate, or open facilities, prioritizing rural communities and designated child-care deserts.
