Access to quality child care profoundly impacts the life chances of low-income single mothers and their children. Tennessee is among the top 10 states with the worst poverty numbers for children, with a poverty rate of 31% for children under six years old. Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) sets forth guidelines adopted by state governments to move recipient families from welfare to work. Although opportunities have been expanded for low-income parents, many single mothers struggle to find quality child care so they can work. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to investigate the experiences of 10 low-income single working mothers selecting child care for infants and toddlers. The mothers experienced contextual constraints and related issues that contributed to the child care selection process. Three themes emerged from the data including (a) the experiences of being single mothers living in poverty making child care decisions, (b) contextual constraints in choosing child care, and (c) mothers' satisfaction with the child care they chose.
