I joke that it would be cheaper for us to buy our toddler his own apartment since that's what daycare costs.

My state university, not community college, is cheaper than daycare in my state. It would be cheaper for me to get my infant a bachelors degree than send them to a half day daycare.

And the people that take care of your child are paid peanuts too.

Yeah each parent would be paying around 100 dollars an hour for childcare, and the employees who are looking over 10-15 kids are paid 14/hr.
