I'm honestly slightly confused by this response. Any business type will end up with some that do well, open more locations and get some manner of central office. It'll inevitably be some manner of corporation because that just how we structure any business beyond small. The daycare is where the kids go and the office their handles local stuff like contact forms and medical notes, and corporate office handles billing and such.
Like, yeah it's weird for something as personal as childcare to be a franchise, but no one gets too worked up about corporate pharmacies and that's literally trusting a stranger giving you a bottle of drugs to eat not to hand you the poison they keep a few feet over.
It's weird and kinda dystopian, but I'm confused by the shock.
because if it involves a profit motive it involves exploitation inherent in this motive. to apply that exploitation to a service that provides care for children would mean there is a nonzero chance the place is not prioritizing child care and safety over profit.
I mean, I get that. As I said, it's the surprise that confuses me. I understand "ugh, why are we putting profit in _____". It's that someone would go "whoah, hold on, people are running daycares for money?"
Literally every paid daycare has a profit motive. The issue you take is with scale, not motive.
Wrong. In the northern Europe the daycare are owned by the government and are not for profit. They are still payed but without profit motive
North of what?
Edit: before the edit of the comment above me it only said “in the north” not “Northern Europe”.
