In Australia there's clear evidence that on average for-profit childcare centres provide lower quality, less safe services. A simple explanation is th e profit margin is achieved through reducing staff costs. Methods include paying minimum rates and gaming staffing regulations.

@jwi @ChrisMayLA6 That's analog to private hospitals and geriatric care and so many other institutions. Either they're excessively expensive or they provide substandard care to maximize profits. Of course they would never admit it but when you look under the hood... It would not have been privately run if there was no profit to make. I'm saying that for decades: some institutions simply do not belong in private hands.
