The key word is WILLING, the day cares are willing to meet this great need in the community,and most jobs require evenings and weekends.This applies ONLY to people with children who need expanded child care services to maintain or seek out employment! This also applies to tax payers who are paying out of their hard earned money, including parents who work into the welfare program NOT by choice! Without this need being met families are out of work and enter into welfare.You want more entering the system? Better yet, would you rather tax payers continue to pay for a program that does NOT support work ethics, i.e. "welfare?!" Expansion of day care to promote work ethics limits what tax payers have to pay for welfare by again reducing the welfare rolls! In addition this promotes jobs for the teachers that will be hired to cover this need! Would love to hear from those parents who understand this great need?

Shouldn't this be in the parenting forum?

Is this about NJ and childcare?

I am afraid I don't understand your post very well.

You're not making any sense....a child should be in bed at night so there fore the day care will not need "teachers" for second or third shift care just a skilled care giver earning far less then a teacher.

Your thoughts and concept is a good one but you can not force a private day care( private business) to be open hours they don't want to be....
Insurance costs may be a huge issue in this for day care centers

Perhaps you can provide overnight and weekend daycare in your home for the people who need it. You've fixed two problems then...you're getting an income and people who need to work those hours have child care.

When I was trying to build a daycare business, I thought of this route, but it wouldn't have worked right now. My father worked shift work so I get that not everybody has a 9-5. That would be a real niche for a home daycare provider to fill. You can contact the family daycare registering agency in your area (Catholic Charities for Somerset/Middlesex counties) for more information. You make your own hours when it's your daycare business, so you could totally do this.

I was an in home provider, prior I was a teacher. Most become in home providers for an extra income and because they have families themselves they want to work from the home.Many issues with this. The children are in a strangers home, the state of N.J. only allows you to watch up to 5 children only in a providers home(This won't meet the large need for extended child care services), and lastly because most have families themselves do not want to extend thier "home" to offer the expansion of hours needed. Let's not forget those who rent homes,apartments, whatever it may be cannot become an in home provider because renters are most times "NOT" zoned for business to operate a day care out of their home! Do some do it? Yes, and it's against the law.

Other states such as Las Vegas do have around the clock child care because most work in the casinos. C.A. does not have extended child care services to meet the needs of families who have to work non-traditional work hours.I work with a group out there, even though I am in N.J. and have found this information to be fact. On a broad scale this is an issue that is in many other states. The goal is to meet this need to reduce the welfare roll. Soon all schools will be offering FREE pre-school to the community, and because it will be FREE it will be at TAX payers expense!

Pre-schools/day cares will lose business as a result! The expansion of day care hours to reduce welfare rolls, allowing the day cares to get more business, and getting more families off welfare who only need extended child care services removes the burden off tax payers! Making pre-school free in schools WILL hurt independent business owners, TAXES will go up, TAXES will continue to go up for increased caseloads of those entering welfare. Are we looking for the government to take care of everything at a HIGH cost? Or when is the community ready to be just that and work together?

In our area there is Project Child Find, preschool for children who need help w/ certain skills to be ready for Kindergarten. This is generally under 3 hours per day unlike daycare which can be about 11 to 11 1/2 hours. If the public school offers transportation then they most likely will pick up from and drop the child at the daycare.

This does not affect the profits on the business b/c the parents pay for full day daycare. It is a challenge for the teachers, however, to get the children ready and have to get them off a bus.

Read your lease, but it's most likely specifically not allowed.
