Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

13 years ago when we needed child care it actually would have cost me more than a weeks pay for a week of child care at the highest rate a line cook could get in my area. I was getting $13 an hour as a cook and putting in 45 hours a week. Child care was more than $600 a week for the cheapest option.
It's the fucking regulations and high insurance premiums that force child care centers to charge too much. Then again I should have been getting way more since my job was ungodly busy.
No it isn't. It's real estate costs and business loans. If you look at what these businesses are actually paying in terms of labor and compliance costs, it pales behind what they're paying in rents and interest on debts.
You can find surprisingly cheap daycare options if you just identify a daycare center that owns its own building. That's one reason why daycare through my local church is so cheap. All they're paying for is people's time (and they're not paying much). But the people running that daycare are... very weird. And I don't feel comfortable leaving my son with them eight hours a day. So I'm out an extra $1k/mo taking them to a secular center in downtown.
sounds like corporate daycare, ive seen private ones only, mostly chinese/asian ones that are alot smaller
