I really don't think they get that. To me, it's no different than the "family" bathroom places have. Hell, I worked for a church owned coffee shop and we had TWO unisex bathrooms. Each had a single toilet and sink with a locking door. It's really not a hard concept to grasp. Unfortunately, the only thing done people seem to be able to grasp are their pearls. 🙄

I can't really say from a day care employee point of view. My experiences employed by a daycare were limited to one center in a predominately low income area. I covered at a center in a higher income area, but was not there long enough to get a feel for the families.
As an aside, I moonlight as a face painter. From working birthday parties and community events, yes, horrible parents are pretty equally distributed.
TBH, I see more honest family interaction when I'm face painting than I did as a daycare employee.
Edit for clarification.

No. I've seen horrible parents at all income levels. Though at both ends of the income spectrum you start to see a parental disconnect. With both extremes parents are prioritizing something over the kids, where quality time is concerned. Lower income parents miss out from necessity to work multiple jobs to pay bills. The higher income families often went away and the kids had babysitters or they were also tied up in work because they value work more.
This is just my personal opinion and feeling from working in early childhood education.

From the link "Lightbridge Academy explains why daycare and their educational child care program are simply not the same thing."
Lightbridge is claiming they are more than a daycare.
Licenced day care centers have educational requirements to meet. There are even some that offer more intensive programs and kindergarten.
Lightbridge is a daycare.

The link is to a page promoting a business. It is not any sort of actual educational resource or state/government definition of what a daycare is.

Fun fact, education starts at birth. In the infant and one year old classrooms at daycare centers they have lesson plans and do educational activities with the babies. Things get progressively more academic from age 2. There are educational requirements for daycare centers.

Iirc, Planned Parenthood bills on a sliding scale based on income. You can find your local clinic on their website and find out more information.

I mean, I guess they're still technically legal. But if any part of it covers any wording on the plate it's illegal.

Yeah, I was super confused. I was trying to figure out where the hell in that area you'd get a picture like this. 😅
