I've got a toddler and already work 4 days week (Friday off). Daycare is 5 days a week, so it's great to have Fridays free to work on my side projects, read, go on small hikes - and when my wife is free - we take long lunches together etc.

As long as daycare / schooling remains 5 days a week, I think 4 days a week of work for parents is a fantastic idea.

But if we are working four days a week, why not daycare providers? They have jobs that are difficult as well, they would enjoy that extra day off. I just don’t see them staying open and working 5 days a week if everyone else are just working 4. Maybe with extra staff? But staffing is already impossible in that sector.

> why not daycare providers

Why not, why not? You don't need extra staff, you just need scheduling.

I was going to comment on that, I'd love to have a 3 days weekend but only if one of those weekends was to reconnect with my wife without the toddler.
