    Is Ohio doing enough to protect against child care fraud?
    Nicole Myrick, director of Mini University at Sinclair Community College, explains a toy to a child on Tuesday, March 10.

    Ohio child care centers fear closure even with increased state funding
    Kettering parent Katey Gibbins-Burdette (left) and her husband, Brandon Burdette, spend thousands of dollars per month on childcare for the couple's two children, age three years and 11 months. Childcare is increasingly unaffordable for young families. Changes to how Ohio pays childcare centers and a looming fiscal cliff for Ohio childcare could make it even more out of reach.
