Daycare centers where I live are already stretched thin with staffing. It is already becoming less accessible because they simply can’t hire enough workers, anyone who wants to work full time can easily do that. Minimum per kid staffing rules mean that the staffing problem can’t be solved by increasing productivity.

The only way they could employ more staff is by drastically increasing pay, but then daycare becomes even less accessible than it already is. It’s a huge mess that is probably unrelated to this proposal, but an excuse to go to 4 day a week schedules (because parents can fill in for 3) would probably be taken quickly.
