...when I was the mother of young children and worked full time for a software company... I remember asking why the company could not provide an onsite daycare center? I would have willingly paid for the service, I was not looking for a handout, but there were others in the same situation and we all paid for daycare for our young children anyway.

If the company had provided the service onsite, it would have alleviated many difficulties, for them and for us. For one thing, no more rushing home to pick up the kids on time from their daycare provider. For another thing, we could look in on our children during lunch break. Also the security of knowing the children were right there, close to hand, and knowing that we could be more closely involved with the care they were receiving.

It seems to me that Mayer could offer to do that.
