| Office will be reopening soon and my daycare is still only open from 8am-5:30pm so might need to start looking into other options. Are other daycares back to regular hours yet? |

Those are my DC's daycares regular hours? What hours are you needing. |

| Some are and some are not. They care still operating under Covid guidelines which means enhanced cleaning etc. Many are still struggling with staffing and ratios so you might find it hard to find a spot. |

| My daycare's pre-pandemic hours were 6:45-5:45 I think (I have a pandemic baby); current hours are 7-5:30; 2020 was 8:30-5. I assume the current hours are permanent; it works okay for me. |

| Mine is still opening one hour late and closing a half-hour early. They are short-staffed so I don’t think it will change anytime soon. At this point I’m just glad to have a spot. |

Not exactly but did extend it.
Pre covid 730-630 "Covid hours" 800-430 Now 730-530 |

| Mine closes at 530. They had said they would extend to 6 pm (precovid close) in September but are now saying maybe January. |

| My job has a daycare on site and the hours never changed (except for a brief period when they closed when the pandemic first hit): 7:00 am - 6:00 pm |

| Ours opens 45 min later (which is really tough) and a half hour earlier (which recently changed from an hr earlier). I really need them to open at 8 or 8.15. I'm currently looking into other options. |

| Our center in North Potomac is back to pre-COVID hours (7:30a-6p). |

Nope- but now it's not really a covid issue, it's staffing- they're having a hard time finding additional staff.
Our hours are still shortened in rockville- used to be 7:30-6, now 8-5 been 8-5 through pandemic. |
