A morning at the daycare centre

I visited a daycare centre in Volketswil. Here is what I learned.

On Tuesday I spent a morning at a daycare centre in Volketswil. I handed out snacks, tied shoelaces and listened a lot.

The manager told me that more than 40 families are waiting for a place. Many mothers and fathers would like to work more. But there are not enough places or staff.

I take two things away. Daycare centres need simpler approval. And anyone who pays for childcare should be able to deduct it from their taxes.
