People who run in-home day care are small businesses, not government employees. They are sometimes given money for services as part of a government program (e.g. the single mom who pays 50% for her kid's care while the government pays the other 50%, or the "we'll give you partial reimbursement if you feed kids healthy things" program my mom participated in a while back), but they sign contracts with parents, not the state. So no, they are not a part of the public sector and thus no-public-sector-strike rules should not apply to them.
