Kinder Kindergarten
Perhaps one of the reasons that progress on national child care is so slow, as Sadiya Ansari describes in “Child Care for All” (May), is that finding and keeping quality child care is like a five-year-long Hunger Games for parents. Once your child ages out and doesn’t need it anymore, you have survived, and you can finally turn your back on it all, leaving the mess to those who come behind you. While they’re in it, parents are too overwhelmed and exhausted to organize and demand action, leaving the bulk of that work to academics and child care advocates—the only ones who have the energy to give a damn.
