The councilwoman is not wrong that there are a lot of day cares in her district. According to a recent report of the Reinvestment Fund, which analyzed the number of day-care centers in the city, the Eighth District has more day-care slots than children. But there is more to day cares than number of slots. Any working parent will tell you that finding high-quality and affordable day care is not a simple task. In fact, the report highlights Chestnut Hill — part of Bass' district — as one of the neighborhoods with the most severe shortages in the supply of high-quality day cares. Throughout Bass' district, only 36 of the 250 certified facilities are of high-quality, defined as receiving a high rating from the state's Keystone STARS program, which sets standards for certified day cares. If constituents were complaining about quality, it's hard to see how an outright ban would fix that problem. In fact, it could deter high-quality day care operators from opening in the district.
