"you might find yourself cooped up with young children every day and let's face it -- who is really prepared for that?"

Isn't being cooped up with young children exactly what day care workers do?

I understand that the "Brightest & Best" need quality time and space to do the planing necessary to give us workers a socialist utopia.

yes - that is exactly what they do.
And their patience can be tested by children just as much as anyone else.

That is the challenge for anyone working with children - moms, daycare workers, teachers - how to be patient.
