Childcare/ECE is already heavily regulated by the various tentacles of the administrative State. The children really are in the crosshairs of this fiasco in so many ways.
In my occupied US territory the problem is a combination of the multiple regulatory bodies all vying to assert their powers - and the population itself, which is divided among diametric realities.
The State regulatory body for ECE, State childcare licensing, county health dept, State health dept., CDC, Montessori Associations, franchisors, etc. all have their mandates and regulations and "guidance". Its a labyrinth of contradictions, dead-ends, theatrics, and financial trappings all on a constant cycle of change based on arbitrary "data" generated from sources that at this point should be burned to their foundations.
Then there are the parents. 1/3 are furious that not enough is being done to "protect" the kids. 1/3 are angered by the confusing and contradictory measures being constantly employed, then dropped, then re-employed. 1/3 are perpetually annoyed that all of this is interfering with their ability to farm out their kids uninterrupted - especially given what they have to pay.
Then there are the staff, teachers, administrators, and owners who similarly fall across the spectrum of anti-reality hive-minded freaks, low-pay retail labor issues, and small business owners who have invested their entire lives into their schools. Much like healthcare, many are simply just leaving.
The increased stress, costs, and regulatory hoops that management has to constantly navigate whilst getting heat from all the above no matter what they do or don't do all while trying to maintain statutory staffing ratios in a labor "market" that is completely gutted by federal intervention and social decay have drained a lot of the goodwill in an already stressed industry.
The destruction of all of our institutions is underway. Godspeed with your child. He/She is in the best of hands now. You are not alone in this predicament. Have faith that as the great sorting continues there will be opportunities for those of us of sound mind to find ways to serve each other.

By design no doubt. The older adults can't be changed, but the kids can--all focus is really on them and young adults.
Beautifully written 👍👍
