In an effort to improve access to child care, Wichita’s City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to increase the capacity of home daycares from 10 to 12 children. More specifically, the vote was to approve an amendment to the Unified Zoning Code, which is shared by Wichita and Sedgwick County and includes regulations for home occupations and daycares. The effort is in response to a desperate need for child-care availability in the Wichita area that officials say has a significant impact on the local workforce.
