Yeah daycare / preschool is 20-30k in SF but as you noted it is temporary. Once the kids reach K5 SFUSD is free (well paid for by taxes). A bigger problem is after school care. All the programs at SFUSD along with all the independent ones have long waitlists. Those of us in tech are fortunate: work hours are flexible so it isn't as much of a problem as it would be for many others. (For our part I aim to be ambitious at work which has paid off so far and my partner stays at home, but that is not easy or even possible for everyone in tech let alone those outside it)
