Why is it that Target and Walmart are offering part-time Holiday help more than day cares will pay their teachers?

Average child care teacher pay is around $12/Hr while Target is offering $15/Hr this holiday season! Something seems wrong with this logic!

supply and demand. Target & Walmart are finding it really hard to get shortterm help and have had to push up the pay they're offering. Childcare I assume isn't just looking for shortterm fillins, so is working a different segment of the labour market
