    Nah, it works in childcare. You just have two 6 hours shifts for early/lates instead of the two 7.5 hour shifts for early/lates.

    The pay also needs to go up to match the reduced work hours.

    No one should be monitoring children for more than six hours at a time. A childcare person on their seventh hour is too fatigued to be functional in an emergency.

    That said, more than a 20-hour work week will start taxing adults so they can no longer serve their functions regarding civic duties (voting, staying knowledgeable about issues so as to govern policy, etc) and parenting.
