See my comment. The article I link to suggests that Dragoncon stopped offering child care because it was underused, but of course if you make a convention unfriendly or awkward to people with young children then they won't come, so of course demand for child care will drop off.
I also wonder if there are legal issues. Running child care for 500 young children (my rough guess at the demand if it scaled from what I've seen at other cons) would be a daunting prospect. To all intents and purposes, you'd be setting up a summer camp in its own right.
