Nice! really good direction. If this good results I hope more places follow suit.

Childcare is outrageous. Daycare for my two kids was more than my mortgage every month. Ive been counting down until they were eligible for public schools

Unfortunately for many of us Americans, there is a substantial contingent of our government that would really like to do away with public schools.

Basically doubles income if it is free.

Damn, in Norway is not free, but both public and private kindergartens (1-6) are capped in terms of what they can bill for each month. Which is about 210usd

The rest is paid for though taxes obviously.
