I think they should raise their salaries so they could have more teachers in daycare. They should provide that as part of the tax system. Some of the portions of the taxes we pay to the government should go more towards daycares. And that should come through raised salaries.

I actually would like to see them raise the salaries of daycare providers. Because if we want to make it an attractive profession, we need to be able to attract qualified people, and people who are willing to make a commitment, and make it their career. Then over time, you build up better quality daycare services.

In my opinion, the current problem is not just the teachers; it’s that the whole expenses for the owner of the daycare are not cheap, right? Maybe (the government) can just use the funding to cover some expenses of the daycare. (The money) will eventually go to the parents.

As a parent, I prefer to have that funding being given back to families. That way it’s going to help them with the cost of these daycares... (Then) there will be more families that put their kids into the daycares. In that case, the daycares will be able to raise more money and hire more teachers.

It should be given to teachers. Because we can only improve the quality of students by improving the quality of teachers. It’s the right thing to do. The quality of teachers is very important.
