Lucky moms that they could afford to quit their jobs. Not every mom can.
(Funny how this is always about the moms--Dad isn't often mentioned in these sorts of conversations. ;-))
Speaking as someone who taught preschool for 25 years, I know all too well that nobody begins a career in early childhood education or daycare because they seek potential vast wealth. For the right person, it can be a very satisfying occupation.
As far as the liability and red tape, yeah. There are really dedicated, unlicensed, under-the-radar daycare moms who would have you sign a waiver.
And there are insured preschool/daycares which are deplorable, but the overworked Social Services inspector has not yet been around for a visit.
And everything in between.
It's a jungle out there.
