> That means she received tens of thousands of Euros per year!

I'm writing this from memory, so it may be wrong, but as I remember it: parents would receive "modest" support; a much larger part would go directly to the daycare, outside of the parents' view. Now if the daycare was deemed to be illegal/fraud/..., the parents would be on the hook for both the money they received as well as the money the daycare received.

Again, I may be misremembering - but this is definitely one way to put a mom into 100s of thousands of debt that she'd never seen.
