#Daycare
If govt policymakers want their citizens to have more kids
Then:
Accessible #Healthcare
Secure #Housing
#Daycare
#ParentalLeave (both parents)
Sane #workCulture
Quality #Education
Etc
In the #USA #MAGA's desire for more kids seems to have found its policy in "make them poor uneducated and desperate and get rid of #sexEd #abortion #contraception and #womensRights"
I suppose they have a point because neglected unloved kids are future MAGA
Another potential daycare is being stalled, and child-care providers are frustrated
A St. John’s daycare operator has his sights set on opening another location, but it might not happen anytime soon. He's not the only one playing the waiting game.

The Global Legacy of #Quebec’s Subsidized Child #Daycare
With more than two decades behind it, the Quebec program that spawned an affordable child care model has some lessons for the rest of the world.
by Molly McCluskey, December 31, 2018
Excerpt: "Every morning before work, Damir Lolic leaves his home in Zagreb, Croatia, with his three-year-old daughter, Dora, walks a few hundred meters down the street, and delivers her to a nearby daycare center. Like many of the children in Croatia, Lolic’s daughter attends a government-subsidized care center, part of a suite of policies designed to ease the burden on working families. The program means that Lolic and his partner don’t have to make the choice between working or staying home to care for Dora, and both have been able to continue to pursue their careers. Such subsidized child-care programs are in effect in many parts of the world, including #Japan, #Sweden, #Denmark, #Norway, and #Australia. And many of them owe their inspiration to a similar program that began more than twenty years ago, in Quebec, Canada.
"With many years behind it, the Quebec program that spawned a global subsidized child-care model has shown marked progress in some areas in its original home province—while still lagging in others. One of the most remarkable changes has been the employment rate of mothers of young kids, which has spiked dramatically since the start of the program.
Quebec’s program, which introduced low-fee, universal child care in the province in 1996, centered on a few core premises: that if the government helped make child care accessible and affordable, it would allow more women to join the workforce, increase childhood development and social skills, and ultimately raise revenue for the government through increased payroll taxes. In at least two of those objectives, the scheme has been widely successful, says Pierre Fortin, an economist at the University of Quebec at Montreal, and the country’s leading expert in the economics of subsidized child care: It’s increased participation of women in the workforce, and cost efficiency."

"The next day, the coroner’s report confirmed that the baby had died of asphyxiation. Logan had been left unattended for more than three hours in a separate room, with his face positioned too close to a firm pillow that obstructed his breathing.
A state investigation revealed that the provider had been caring for 11 children alone — far exceeding Idaho’s legal requirement of one staff member per six children, especially with infants present. (The National Association for the Education of Young Children recommends a maximum of four infants per staff member in day care settings, while some states like Maryland and Hawaii limit it to three.)
Idaho already has the second least restrictive child care regulations in America, according to a study released last year by West Virginia University. In February, Republican lawmakers introduced a bill that would loosen regulations even further, making Idaho the first in the nation to abolish maximum staff-to-child ratios in day cares — precisely the safety standards Logan’s provider had fatally violated eight months earlier."
The Upper House passed a revised bill on Friday allowing authorities to restrict welfare facility visits from parents suspected of abusing their child. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/18/japan/society/child-abuse-visitation/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #childabuse #parents #children #daycare

"Ingham county infant with measles may have exposed kids at daycare... The county isn’t releasing the name of the daycare where exposure may have occurred, but the families of all fifty or so kids who attend have been contacted by the health department...The childcare center was not listed as a public potential exposure site in the county’s press release on Monday, Dr. Shoyinka said, because they’ve been “very cooperative in terms of giving us a list of the students in the school, the staff, the people who have been there..."

Calgary daycare chain hits parents with 'optional' $330 meal fee while prohibiting outside food
The province says this is not allowed under its new fee regulations that took effect on April 1, but Clever Daycare says the rules are unclear and possibly contradict other provincial guidance on food safety.
