## Resource

Spokane’s bold new pilot program is slashing childcare costs for kids under three by partnering schools with city-funded provider contracts, cutting rent and overhead—while the mayor stresses federal and state help is still essential. With free school space and streamlined permits, this community-driven effort aims to boost affordability, attract more educators, and inspire statewide change—all while keeping families paying less for quality care.
