A non-urbanist counterpoint: here in Canada, the federal government has been making big strides towards $10/day daycares. No anti-car. Just extra payments to daycares. We live in an urban area (middle of Toronto), succedsfully raising children, lots of childcares around, and daycare costs have gone down by 50%. No need to move to the suburbs.
One interesting aspect of childcares in this area: they buy out an entire house. I believe that a major part of making a childcare work financially is to use it to cover a mortgage/invest in real estate. Without that, there is very little profit to be made.
