@mekkaokereke affordable childcare requires paid parental leave:

1. Daycares compete with unpaid labor of parents (mostly women). Most staff (also women) are paid poverty wages.
2. Infant care is a loss leader. Staff/child ratios make profits impossible - business makes up the loss in the 3/preK years.

Give parents a year to take care of their kids, and running a daycare becomes a more reasonable enterprise.
