A local documentary is putting a spotlight on the growing strain facing childcare providers — and the broader system families depend on. On a recent episode of Connections with Evan Dawson, guests discuss “Make a Circle,” a film that follows educators navigating low pay, high demand, and a sector many say is nearing a breaking point. The conversation brings together policymakers and local leaders to examine how New York’s push for universal childcare could ease pressure while raising new questions about sustainability. It also centers the voices of providers themselves, highlighting the gap between the importance of the work and the compensation it currently offers.
