Here’s typical day care rates for Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Oklahoma is one of the lowest cost of living states in the nation, because it’s a hell hole with no social services and has been already doing Project 2025 for the past five years. This means salaries are similarly depressed - as a teacher, my first year take home pay per month was $2200. If I had a child then I would have nothing between day care and rent. (And I also would have needed the daycare, first year teaching is 60-100 hours a week.)

The people working at the facility are likely barely qualified and probably not making enough to support their families - likely on welfare.
