You mean you had the best choices (though I disagree this is universally the best choice, and also how convenient for you that a global pandemic didn’t occur to shut down your in-home daycare, maybe even put it out of business, and then postpone your kids’ entry into preschool by 6 months, at which point they would spend the next two years doing masking and social distancing at school).
Mic drop, lock the thread, we're done here.
I'm surprised this thread is still going! I don't think anyone has said anything remotely helpful or productive for the last X number of pages.

Truly. I mean, why limit childcare to 8 hours a day if this is the case? Since most parents are unqualified to care for babies, why not just take them away at birth and rates them in facilities with round the clock professional care. I wonder if anyone has ever tried this, seems foolproof.
