In the rural Methow Valley in northeast Washington state, parents have few options for child care. There are only two licensed programs in the community — one of which is a Head Start center. About 40 miles northeast in the town of Okanogan, 30 percent of the town’s limited child care spots are provided by the local Head Start center. Nationwide, Head Start has long played an outsized role in the rural child care landscape, existing in 86 percent of rural counties.
