I added a few sentences already, anticipating your response. :) But I'm going to leave in the last paragraph, because it answers a different question. There are plenty of kids for whom parental care is NOT the best thing, because their parents don't have the education or the will to give them what they need. A more accessible daycare system might encourage a few of those parents - in particular the ones who are just barely out of the eligibility range for subsidies - to put their kids in daycare or preschool, if only part-time, and thereby give them the best shot they'll get at breaking the poverty cycle.
