Day care system will never be fruitful for this. Couple should to facilitate child at home with grand parents as per available or can higher any married female of arround 40-45 in age who has an experience of caring her own child.
In my organisation we are conducting regular (one meeting per week, 1h 45 min) groups for parents with young children (0-6 months / 6-18 months / 18-36 months) oriented to support child development and improving parental skills in adults. It suits to working couples - they can chose afternoon group or share participation in meetings. During meetings parents have an opportunity to play with child, talk with other parents and consult with psychologist. Knowledge and skills gained during meeting can be implemented in daily life.
Also involving other members of family (grandparents, uncles, aunts etc.) and friends is important to extend support network. It is also good for child who gain positive experience with other adults.
