I think the state regulations exist to assure a minimum safe level quality of care, so we are saying the same thing.

Makes sense. They are selling you the option to one of the available childcare slots, which is a fixed number. They can’t sell more slots than they can accommodate, on the off chance every slot is used on a given day. To do so would drop the quality of care.

It’s not like they are airlines and can just bump you to the next available.
