Financial Preschool Closures Mean Less Spots

| We have seen many wonderful preschools and daycares that have been around a long time not only close but say it is likely they will not reopen as hit is such a financial hit to them. As a result what happens when this pandemic ends? The spots are already difficult to find and without additional options there will be a flood of people wanting the remaining spots at preschools that are still open. I expect the preschools that are able to remain open will have some parents leave but a majority will be smart enough to keep their spot through the pandemic so they have a spot when they return. Otherwise it will surely be gone. With the news stating their is a cocktail that was approved by the FDA to handle the symptoms of the virus, a 2 trillion dollar plan that was just approved Trump saying he wants everything opened by Easter, and the fact that China is open after 2 months, I believe this will not continue much longer. My DS is 4 and needs Transitional K next year and a DD that will be 2. DC/ Chevy Chase/ Bethesda is a high demand market. Thoughts? |

| Former director here. I believe that many people will lose their jobs as a result of this pandemic. In that case parents or grandparents will be taking care of the kids because people will not be able to afford childcare for quite some time. |

NAEYC is a trade association advocating for its members. That’s not an objective source. Assuming this lasts a few months, most places should be able to reopen. |
