Full Service Daycares
There’s an interesting article in the Times Online about full service nurseries (daycare) that offer other services for working parents, such as laundry and ironing.
Though I’d love to have a daycare that did all that, the thing that struck me the most was the idea that some of the nurseries (daycares) in the article have children’s hairdressers come in every six weeks, and, someone to measure their feet (the kids’ feet, not the hairdressers’).
At the risk of sounding like the stereotype I decry, those things alone would make me a very happy working parent.
I wonder if I could talk the grade schools into doing it, too?
Actually, I want to open a chain of orthodontists and set them up in school parking lots across the country.
Would I make a mint, or, what?

Reminds me of this article in Time Magazine about contracting nitty gritty parenting responsibilities like lice removal!

As a working parent I think it sounds wonderful to be able to make the time for the parenting tasks I enjoy while being able to “subcontract” the rest. Doing those tasks I enjoy help me to connect better with my children.
