## Resource

Anchorage is rolling out a bold second wave of childcare reforms to slash red tape, slash costs, and boost availability—making it easier for providers to open homes and run centers while keeping safety standards rock solid. Key changes include ditching the home-licensing rule, eliminating fees and liability insurance, raising capacity limits, adopting online training, and streamlining health requirements—all without weakening inspections or compromising kids’ well-being. The city assembly debates these proposals June 23rd, aiming to turn childcare access around. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
