Hmm... it seems to me that childcare is another of the "formerly done by servants" things that people have never stopped outsourcing to others.
That's not saying there's not an opportunity there. Daycare operations still seem to be mostly "artisanal", or at least operating on a fairly small scale. The big problem you're going to face is that people are incredibly protective of their children (and rightly so... those who aren't haven't left their genes behind :-)). Food is pretty personal, but most people will think nothing of stopping into a strange restaurant and eating the food, but they would never drop off their kids at a random storefront.
seeing its parents so rarely, they wouldn't be exactly a role model parents for their kids. could be much worse, or course, but having kids is arguably the most important thing in lives of many people, so if doing it, let's do it properly and raise (at least try hard, i mean HARD) a confident, balanced issue-free happy people. i've got the feeling this planet & mankind needs more of those compared to uber-competitive self-centered workoholics.
