[quote=Anonymous]Adding one thing - the cost of daycare in this city is not due to the wages paid to the workers. It's due to high rent. There is nothing anyone can do to lower the market rate rent of spaces that are suitable for daycares, unless the Fed is willing to subsidize the rent for all the centers since most of the centers re downtown. Which isn't going to happen. So you're left with wags to the workers being the only factor that can really change. When a center in a federal building, used by federal employees, so generally speaking not the people who can afford nannies!, already exceeds $1800/month for an infant and is creeping up on that for a toddler, three's a finite amount of blood you can get from a stone so to speak. Not to mention, presumably, if all these women could obtain degrees, they would likely move on to be an ECE at a DCPS or charter, which would at least pay better. So then what?[/quote]
