“[T]he daycare center ha[s] more than a passing or passive connection to interstate commerce. Instead, the daycare center [i]s actively engaged in commercial activity by participating in the market for childcare services. See Camps Newfound/Owatonna, Inc. v. Town of Harrison, 520 U.S. 564 , 586 n. 18, 117 S.Ct. 1590 , 137 L.Ed.2d 852 (1997) (noting a $16 billion “market in child day care services”). The daycare center was not removed from or passively connected to commerce. Rather, the operation of the daycare center was itself a commercial activity.”
