In this case, the center is trying to improve quality and parents are upset about the cost.
It’s a catch-22. Everyone wants quality care, but no one wants to pay for it. As a corporate center, they are either going to be lambasted for not being high enough quality or accused of being greedy for charging what it costs to provide quality.

Qualify childcare doesn't have to cost more than a mortgage.

It depends completely on what is included that makes it quality (and also what your mortgage costs!) The way the state defines quality does cost a lot to achieve, but I agree there are many ways to take great care of kids that are less expensive.

For this company's business model, it does cost quite a lot. Did you know that they were the first people to pay benefits to childcare workers in the state? I get the impression they tend to be on the cutting edge, thus the expense.
