It's a step towards Socialism. I don't think it would be available equally, therefore not a good idea.

The current regulations are restrictive enough. Childcare is none of the governments business. They need to just stop promoting more government regulations. Childcare is expensive enough without even more expensive government regulations to comply with that wont affect child safety.

My mom babysat around 7 kids (including us) for years (70s and 80s) with none of this regulatory nonsense. Everybody got fed, nobody got hurt and at affordable prices.

That was 40-50 years ago. Childcare is a LOT more expensive. Plus people these days are too lazy to watch that many kids. They're too busy on their stupid phones.

It doesn't matter how strong they are, if people don't follow them.
