I don't get it. Don't these parents CARE about the quality of care they're likely to get for $60/week??

I am both a teacher in a preschool and a DCM, and I would say 50% of the reason I work here is so I can afford to have my daughter in a quality environment. I've been doing this my entire adult life and I would like to go and try something else, but I know most likely I would either be working just to pay daycare so I could work, or I'd have to have my daughter in some place I felt unsure about.

For $60 a week you are turning absolutely no profit. Unless you have 10 or more kids. So what you end up with is a sahm who starts out with a bunch of promises, quickly realized she can't do any of that stuff because she either has too many kids or not making any money, and your kid eats ravioli and plays with her kids' toys until for a few months til she gets burned out or shut down. I've seen it.
