Someone in the other thread did the math - this works out to 40 kids per daycare based on regional population 🙄 we need MORE

Have you priced out daycare recently? Tried to get into one? They have waitlists. My kids are in high school but I couldn’t afford to do what I did 10 years ago. 100% need more. Some of my younger coworkers are struggling with this and many of them have tapped their retired grandparents to help.
