Quit bemoaning the cost of child care and then put forth policies and recommendations that are very very expensive.
And do they even want them there at all? We (society) have normalized aggressive behavior, so the parent of the aggressive child thinks its a-ok and there is nothing wrong with their kid. For the parents of non aggressive children, it is NOT normal and NOT ok! They will pull their kids from these environments and providers will end up with groups of aggressive children. Talk about baby fight club! Ime, parents who take a vested interest in their child and actively work to change bad behaviors are more willing to pay for the extra care. It is the ones who dont think their child's violent behaviors are a "big deal" that wont put their money where their mouth is.
