We call out the broken childcare math, the lazy myths about greedy centers, and the way policy failure pushes women and caretakers out of the workforce. Then we go inside preschool life under immigration fear, answer tough listener questions, and lay out practical policies that keep programs sane.

• Why childcare costs more than rent yet underpays educators
• The harm of treating a public good like a luxury
• Real fixes: public investment, wages, and employer flexibility
• How ICE fear disrupts drop-off, enrollment, and trust
• Trauma signs in preschoolers and staff emotional labor
• Licensing, documentation, and impossible compliance choices
• Concrete supports: trauma training, data privacy, community partners
• Listener Q&A: probation anxiety, diarrhea policies, hide-and-seek
• Hiring insight: answering conflict questions with emotional intelligence
• Policy segment: why two-week written notice exists
