I did not work at home or use day care, so I could not get a day care credit on my taxes. What I implied was families were mom and dad were working making the same (or more) yearly income as us total, and yet getting $6000 to pay for child care. My family sacrificed to have me at home with my kids, and I wind up helping subsidize child care through taxes for moms who chose to work. As for my center, the public school 'contracts out' their preK program as a cost-saving move. Origionally, the teachers were paid the same as the other teachers and considered school teachers. Now we are 'independent' of the school, yet rent space.
