After all that's going on in Illinois and the struggle all childcare provider's and center-based to keep their doors open for families to work seem like childcare is a good place especially when some families depends on them for food and education,

I'd hate to think of what a state run day care would look like. I quit my career to stay at home, after the things I witnessed at a franchise day care facility! For over $200 a week, I was shocked at what went on. If govt' subsidized? Yikes. Nothing govt' run is good. If this provides a better situation for those children who must spend their days with a stranger, then yes.
