Childcare is very personal, especially for those with means to access a wide variety of childcare options. US tech companies don’t offer childcare because it’s not something desired by the employees. There are a few reasons for this:

1. Everyone wants the “best” for their kids. When I think of the “best” childcare, I imagine some specialized program with excellent caregivers and a multitude of enrichment opportunities. I don’t think of a company-run daycare.

2. Many people don’t live near work. You want your kids’ friends to live nearby.

3. You want to provide stability for your kids. Tying daycare to your job is antithetical to that goal.
