There are so many companies that would benefit from allowing employees an affordable onsite daycare, or bringing their children in to work. 

Obviously, not in certain environments, but there are many businesses that would have lower turnover rates, fewer "sick" days, and we could improve our overall health both as a community and economy. 

It's a way to augment existing business to return to profitability, create jobs that are sustainable (there will always be children), and provide a more enticing work opportunity for many.
