How young is too young?

I don't think it should be required of employers to provide daycare for their employees. It's a fantastic perk, no doubt about it but I don't agree with making it mandatory.

Many (large) companies tend to treat their employees as a "number", rather then as an actual person, it's very impersonal to the company.

The company looks at their profit goal as the "bottom line", and gives as few as possible employee benefits (perks) as they can get away with, that they can get the employee to swallow. It's nothing personal, it's just business.

When you think about it, the company as a perk could offer to subsidize the day care issue with their employees. Thereby making the employee contribute a sliding modest fee, depending on the number of children the employee drops off at the company day care center. Kinda splitting the cost, thus making it affordable to the employee, and also not a total bourdon on the company. (There has to be a better way then currently exists)
