The NT directed us to not separate ourselves from sinners.

I disagree with you respectfully.

The NT directed us to not separate ourselves from sinners.

And yet. . . . .

2 Timothy 3:5 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

5 having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof. From such turn away.

[Theophilus]

On further consideration, I think a "daycare" itself, like other "In loco parentis" institutions are not appropriate for churches. Children should be with thier own true parents most of the time.

Deuteronomy 6:4-7

4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[b] 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6 And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise

Notwithstanding, how can a Christian or group of Christians honestly agree to be substitute parents with people who don't agree with what a "parent" or a "christian" is?

1 Corinthians 5:11 But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one

As Christians we should pray for these women and children, created in the image of God. We should call them to repentance as we call ourselves. We should be kind, loving even providing neighbors but we should never accomodate or agree with the blatently rebellious and pulbic lie they are living

[762X51]

The NT directed us to not separate ourselves from sinners.

And yet in other places we were told to indeed separate ourselves as in 2 Timothy 3..."But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH SUCH PEOPLE."

I think that if perhaps there is a chance of salvation we should not separate from sinners But what we are seeing in this instance is exactly what Paul was warning us against. I may be wrong but that is my take on it.
