Yeah, bureaucratic requirements on schools and childcare centers are pretty onerous, and the increased costs, fewer childcare workers, and stressed parental budgets aren’t a good combo.
I generally think early childhood care should be better subsidized in the US.

Some ideas: intelligent automated surveillance (to help a provider take care of more kids at a time), diaper changing robots (you know this is coming in the next 20 years), child labor (kids aide in taking care of younger kids, like it was in the 1950s). Creativity is needed to achieve safety and avoid excessive screen time (we already know screens can pretty much take care of most kids over 2, but the opportunity cost is huge).
