This is awesome.

I suspect that for every one job the government would subsidize for a daycare professional, that we’d see three women enter the workforce.

That’s a net of four people employed.

I have no proof of this aside from my own experience watching parents struggle to find care for their kids. Even well off ones where I live. In Massachusetts!

Good for you, New Mexico. I’m rooting for you.

What's even better is this isn't costing New Mexico that much and it removes income restrictions for daycare. I think the total budget is something like $36 million extra with about $20 million of that being capex to build new facilities.
