That's certainly possible. There are other problems with the idea as well, including the administrative nightmare of ensuring compliance with safety standards across a myriad of newly government-run facilities, not to mention the litigation risk of acting in loco parentis to small children while employing some of the lowest wage-earners in our economy.
On balance, it's hard to see how it could work--historically the federal government has been really bad at administering these sorts of programs.
