    Daycares pay about $50,000 a year in taxes so they have to shut down. Daycare use to cost parents around $600-800 a month. Daycare is now $1500.00 plus.

    Omg we’re so blessed here in many countries around Europe honestly.
    I can’t even imagine living where I can’t just drop my children off to daycare in the morning.

    This is bewildering. So, the demand is astronomical, however there is red tape for ppl willing to step in and fullfill the need? Make it make sense. Im currently and early education and special education teacher. I'm passionate about children was considering opening a daycare but politics makes it nearly impossible to make a living caring for the children that is American children.

    More daycare for special needs children is really needed. I can't find a daycare for my autistic son. Nobody will take him in my area.

      If you listen to the video the owners are talking about more money so they can take care of the children. Don't have the money or the staff to take any more children.

      @@seventhcompactor1505 I get what you saying but it's not that. One veritable could have been where parents were able to afford to have children and then all the sudden one person could have lost a job or both of them lost a job. We just got to look at the whole situation about daycare, or it will get worse.

      @@brittanydavis4546 The vast majority of the time, affordability doesn't have to do with someone losing a job.
      They couldn't afford the cost, even before the job loss. The unsustainable cost is what made the job loss so calamitous. People need to live on less than what they earn ,so they can save and live safe.

    Nothing like mom staying home, if they can make it on one salary. Cut back if you have to. Cut expenses. Get rid of cable, plan out from scratch meals, shop for cheaper food, I know that's hard, but doable. If you have big house, downsize. Take wash to laundromat. Work opposite shifts, if you can.
    There is NO substitute for the parents for a child. unless, you have trusted family or good friend help you out with daycare. All kids do is come home sick from those places, viruses, bugs, and some daycare centers are garbage, low quality "caregivers," who don't have the best interest in your child, but they'll charge you by the minute for a late pick up . Nothing but corporate 💲💰 making greed centers
    Believe me, laugh at leave it to beaver, and Ozzie and Harriet, the world was a way better place when Mom was a homemaker in the home
    Women's lib what BS, making women feel like nothing if they stayed home and raised a family. Made to feel guilty. Latch key kids, broken homes, look what it's snowballed into today. Several generations of dysfunction juction adults🤡

      Wow. Utter Fox-News-BS. Didn't you know the US ruling class has been engaged in a war against the American people for many decades? Wages have stagnated whilst both productivity and CEO pay have risen massively. Stop blaming hard-working working class Americans for what the US capitalist system is doing to them.
      "Wage theft is a nationwide epidemic that costs American workers as much as $50 billion a year, a new Economic Policy Institute report finds. In An Epidemic of Wage Theft Is Costing Workers Hundreds of Millions of Dollars a Year, EPI Vice President Ross Eisenbrey and EPI intern Brady Meixell examine incidences of wage theft-employers’ failure to pay workers money they are legally entitled to-across the country. The total amount of money recovered for the victims of wage theft who retained private lawyers or complained to federal or state agencies was at least $933 million in 2012, almost three times greater than all the money stolen in robberies that year. However, since most victims never report wage theft and never sue, the real cost of wage theft to workers is much greater, and could be closer to $50 billion a year."
