Why child care is so expensive

Boy? Remind me who you are again?

My wife is over eight months pregnant so yes I will be a father. My wife has a masters degree in early childhood development, she directed a preschool for 10 years and has been looking into watching other kids along with our baby after baby girl is born. So I am aware of the cost and the amount of regulations that go into someone being allowed to watch other children. So please spout your holier than thou ignorance to someone else

No easy answers? They lay out pretty clearly all the expense that is added on because of regulation and why as a result it is so difficult for especially poor families to have it. The article in no way advocates no regulation but people can't complain about the cost while supporting pokicies that drive the costs off the chart

So which regulation do you find cumbersome?

Don't like how buildings must be safe and meet certain safety codes?

Maybe you've got a problem with those "intrusive" background checks done on daycare workers?

Maybe you have a problem with the number of children providers are allowed to pack into their centers?

I knew the straw man was coming. If I (people) say regulations are excessive it means we want no regulations.

The additional irony in what you write is it is this excess regulation that creates a black market. I would assume even liberals would understand that basic market function but maybe I was wrong.

Yet the article you posted calls for: "massive, dramatic, and immediate deregulation at all levels".

Sure sounds like some folk want no regulations to me.

Child care providers are one of the most underpaid professions in society. They are regulated because for the safety of the children and protection of childcare providers. People cry about regulation until someone child dies as a result of lax daycare procedures, then all hell breaks loose. Parents demand cheap daycare but also have very high expectations for care. $1,000 a month, what does that breakdown to hourly? What kind of facility can be maintained at those costs? What kind of safety, equipment etc. The answer, not much. This is another case of people wanting a lot, but not willing or able to pay for it. The caregivers end up supplying a lot at their own expense.

There are no easy answers and again, deregulation is not one of them.

Agreed....and that just about describes most of the people in the entire world.

If you would have said, " This is another case of people wanting a lot, but only willing or able to pay for it with others peoples money"....that

would have perfectly described Democrats, liberals and lefties to a tee......

Its not a case of 'deregulation'....its a case of 'over-regulation'.....and lack of over sight....
 
Regulation has not stopped the problem. Doesn't seem to have made any difference from what I hear on the news.
Government is never the answer.

Long but excellent article on why governement regulations make child care so expensive and Hillary's claim that she will subsidize child care cost completely misses the mark.

The shortages in this industry are tragic and affect tens of millions of people. They have a cause (regulation) and a solution (deregulation). Before we plunge wholesale into nationalized babysitting, we ought to at least consider a better way.*





the last line of your idiots article

I see. So how is this daycare center rated? Will she be putting her daughter into a daycare facility without the regulations you want to do away with?

You know...the ones I asked you about several posts ago. Or will you be shopping for centers with no regulations? There are plenty on the black market. I'm guessing her daughter will be in the center she has worked at for 10 years. Or is she opening her own black market center?
