[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The premise of this thread is absurd. Those numbers are completely made up. The staff numbers seem really low to me, first of all (my child's toddler room has more than 1 teacher per 5 students because they do shifts throughout an 11 hour day); and you assumed nothing in terms of administrative fees. I'm sure they have really high licensing fees, security fees, liability and insurance, etc.

I agree that childcare providers should be paid more; personally I think the entire system should be subsidized by the government because otherwise it doesn't add up; but that's just the lefty in me thinking our government should provide services to people who need them rather than tax breaks to billionaires.

You also assumed zero breaks between filling slots for kids. I rent out an apartment and even going without rent for 1 month between tenants eats into our profit for the year like 10% or something. I imagine it's a similar dynamic when they have empty slots between kids, even if it's not for long. [/quote]
