For me to prefer a rationalist community hub, it would have to have similar kinds of support. I’m imagining a circle of parents that takes turns watching ALL the kids. Or passes toys around in an exchange circle. There is also an issue where rationalists often have very particular ideas about child rearing, and they don’t all mesh. Even with people filling the child care role for each other, I think I’d strongly miss not having “elders” around.
