Austin Vance helps keep the lights on in Fort Collins.<\/p>\n

As a line crew chief for the city\u2019s Light and Power electric utility, he and his team are responsible for the infrastructure that delivers electricity to more than 79,000 customers with an advertised 99.99% reliability. He couldn\u2019t do it without his neighbor.<\/p>\n

Before Vance and his wife started their family, the woman next door made them an offer: Whenever they had kids, she\u2019d take care of them. That arrangement now allows both parents to hold jobs, and it\u2019s what keeps Vance showing up for a community that depends on him.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt allows me to have a career,\u201d he said. \u201cIt allows my wife to have a career. It\u2019s vital to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Colorado\u2019s essential workers \u2014 including firefighters, utility workers and teachers \u2014 are critical to safe and healthy communities. But the childcare system that supports them is fragile, expensive and shrinking.<\/p>\n

When it fails, it isn\u2019t just parents and families who feel it. It affects classrooms that go understaffed, the wildfire crew that can\u2019t be backfilled and the power that stays out a little longer.<\/p>\n

Essential workers with families are being forced to leave their hometowns and even their jobs. Fourteen percent of children under 5 in Colorado are in families where one or both caretakers didn\u2019t take a job or made significant changes to their job responsibilities because of childcare problems, according to the 2023 Kids Count Data Book, a 50-state report of household data developed by the Annie E. Casey Foundation.<\/p>\n

As Elliot Haspel, an author and early childhood policy expert, writes in his book \u201cRaising a Nation,\u201d \u201cBuilding a community without childcare is building a community on sand.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Two jobs, few choices<\/h4>\n

Hygiene might seem like an unlikely place to be impacted by Colorado\u2019s childcare crisis. The unincorporated Boulder County community, west of Longmont, is home to an aging population and a handful of small shops.<\/p>\n

Though the community itself has just a few hundred residents, the Hygiene Fire Protection District serves a population of 3,240 residents across 43 square miles.<\/p>\n

The fire department used to be fully volunteer-based, and staff responded to calls from their own homes. But those people \u201care now all retired,\u201d said Lukas Moller, a volunteer Hygiene firefighter.<\/p>\n

Rising housing costs are affecting the fire department\u2019s ability to recruit and retain staff. The district\u2019s 60 personnel now primarily live outside of the area and come into Hygiene to work at the station, including Moller and his family, who own a home in Longmont.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThe town of Hygiene is not a place where it\u2019s affordable to live,\u201d Moller said.<\/p>\n

The median home value in Boulder County is $756,300, which is 40% higher than the state median of $539,400 and 127% higher than the national median of $332,700, according to the Community Foundation Boulder County.<\/p>\n

Moller is a solutions engineer for Campminder, a software company, and his wife works in user experience at Crocs.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we both didn\u2019t work,\u201d he said, \u201cwe wouldn\u2019t be able to pay the mortgage payment and afford everything else.\u201d<\/p>\n

Add the cost of childcare to the cost of housing, and life gets a lot more expensive. How much more expensive? Moller said the cost of care \u201ceats up 30% to 40% of your take-home before mortgage, bills, food and all that.\u201d His 3-year-old son attends daycare five days a week so he can hold down a job and be a volunteer firefighter.<\/p>\n

Without childcare support, staff with families couldn\u2019t respond to emergencies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere have been times where a battalion chief has called off, saying, \u2018Hey, we need backfill at the station. Crews on a wildfire in Left Hand,\u2019 \u201d Moller said, \u201cand I can\u2019t go backfill because I\u2019m home alone, and I can\u2019t bring my 3-year-old.\u201d<\/p>\n

The need for emergency responders is becoming more acute. In 2024, the Hygiene Fire Protection District responded to more than 300 calls for structure fires, emergency medical services, hazardous materials incidents, utility issues, wildland fires, car crashes and technical rescues.<\/p>\n

Proper staffing is critical, especially during a severe drought. This year, the area had more red flag days by March than it usually has in an entire season, Moller said.<\/p>\n

On top of his full-time job, Moller typically spends 48 to 72 hours per month responding to health and fire emergencies. It\u2019s a lifelong dream, he said, and childcare is the only thing that makes it possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was something I always wanted to do. If our kid wasn\u2019t in daycare, there\u2019s no way I would\u2019ve been able to pull that off with us both working full-time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The luck factor<\/h4>\n

The shortage of available childcare spots makes life even harder for those who serve their communities. In Colorado, licensed childcare facilities have the capacity to serve only two-thirds of children under age 6 in families where both parents work.<\/p>\n

Consider Joey Angstman and his family. Angstman teaches biology and environmental science at Greeley West High School.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust being with the students\u2026 watching them become people and be curious gives me hope for the future,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Angstman and his wife, who is also a teacher, are now parents to a 7-year-old daughter and a 4-year-old son. Their son has attended an at-home daycare since he was 4 months old. The couple found the center through a friend.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were looking for childcare forever,\u201d Angstman said. \u201cWe\u2019d call people and nobody would respond to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

A coworker told his wife about a mutual contact who ran a daycare service. They called the provider immediately, and she \u201cjust happened to have an infant spot.\u201d<\/p>\n

The care experience for their son has been more consistent than it was for their daughter, who had to move centers a few times due to childcare center closures.<\/p>\n

Private providers are in a precarious moment right now due to funding strains caused by freezes to funding through the state\u2019s Child Care Assistance Program, rising operational costs, and enrollment decreases tied to Colorado\u2019s universal preschool program.<\/p>\n

A 2026 survey by the Early Childhood Education Association of Colorado showed that 25% of providers reported being at risk of closure this year or struggling to stay afloat.<\/p>\n

Angstman was grateful to find somewhere for his daughter to land before she went into public school.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe felt like just whatever we could find was kind of the best at that point,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Reliable childcare for their son gives both parents the chance to work and, as Angstman put it, to make an impact beyond their own home. For Greeley West, it means having the staff students need, which isn\u2019t a guarantee: Colorado\u2019s teacher shortage rate has nearly doubled since before the pandemic, according to data from the Colorado Department of Education.<\/p>\n

Angstman sees his job as critical to equipping students with critical thinking about future policy and climate issues. His environmental science curriculum focuses heavily on preparing students for the challenges of a changing climate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis generation\u2019s going to really have to be educated when it comes to understanding how climate change works and changes that need to be made,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The impossible choice<\/h4>\n

Vance, the line crew chief for Fort Collins Light and Power, and his wife are from northeast Colorado, near Fort Morgan. After having kids, they considered moving back to the area for cheaper care and housing, plus the family support available there.<\/p>\n

\u201cI pay more in daycare than I do my mortgage,\u201d said Vance, who pays $2,200 a month for two kids, versus a $2,000 mortgage payment.<\/p>\n

In Colorado\u2019s 10 largest counties, families spend 18% to 25% of their monthly income on childcare, according to a report on licensed childcare from the Colorado-based, business-funded think tank Common Sense Institute. The federal government\u2019s benchmark for affordable childcare is 7%.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the Vances decided to stay in Fort Collins.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s hard to leave this community and hard to leave my job,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Vance takes great pride in his work.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe serve our community,\u201d Vance said. \u201cWithout line workers and without power companies, a lot of things we take for granted would not be here: your lights, your refrigerators, your TVs, your communications.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a job Vance wouldn\u2019t be able to do if their 3-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter weren\u2019t taken care of by their neighbor, the at-home childcare provider.<\/p>\n

For many middle-income families like the Vances, the cost of childcare has even affected how many children they plan to have.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve decided two is enough because if we were to throw a third one in, we\u2019re like, \u2018Oh geez, how could we afford that?\u2019 That would be another $1,100 a month.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Vance family makes things work by delaying future costs, such as buying a larger home. They decided to wait and \u201cstick it out where we\u2019re at,\u201d reassessing the possibility \u201conce we can drop the daycare bill.\u201d<\/p>\n

Until then, Vance keeps showing up to work, helping keep the lights on for his neighbors.<\/p>\n
