LOL! Why would two parents go to a preschool parent teacher conference
Some kids have two caring parents. Try it.
Seriously? We both work. We trade off on these things.
You have child care if you are both working or take off.
Finally one of you realized if you are going to keep lecturing people about terminology you should not be using the term "daycare".
It is day care if kids are there 7-10 hours a day.
Child care professionals do not use the term daycare. They say "child care" which is more descriptive. If you are going to lecture people about terminology, use the right words.
I used the term child care but it really doesn't matter what term you use as if kids are there all day its day care. Most child care "professionals" don't have college degrees, let alone in early childhood education or another equal major. (yes, I have worked at several day cares and in college I was by far the most educated).

Our preschool provides babysitting during the conference. Why don’t you suggest that to your school for next time?

How are you supposed to have a productive, honest conversation about your child in front of them? If you can’t get childcare today, they offer the option of scheduling it another time with the teacher.
Ridiculous.
What do you plan to discuss?

Why would you pay for childcare. You find another parent with a kid in your child's class, schedule the conferences with a slot in the middle, and trade off watching the kids on the playground.

It’s not that annoying. How else are they supposed to do conferences?
