Childcare isn’t expensive because anyone’s getting rich; it’s expensive because keeping tiny humans safe, fed, and learning costs real money. We open the books on rent, insurance, payroll, licensing, curriculum, food, and the constant stream of supplies that make a classroom run. Then we connect the dots to the bigger truth: parents can’t pay more, centers can’t charge less, and teachers can’t live on wages that don’t match the work. Without public investment—like K–12 receives—the math will always fail the people doing the caring and the families depending on them.
