[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maryland is closing daycares at the end of the day today.  While they can reopen for children of essential workers, it comes with some significant conditions.

This puts my family in a tough situation.  We're both essential workers, and our children go to a daycare with only one other child.  The provider has turned away other families looking for childcare in order to limit the potential for spreading the virus.  While she could technically keep operating, she's been told she'd have to willing to take additional children from other essential workers.  Since she's not comfortable with that, she's going to shut down.

Apparently Maryland has arranged for free daycare for essential workers at the places that remain open.  But that sounds like a terrible situation.  You're crowding a bunch of high-risk kids together.  I would have much rather continued with my status quo.[/quote]

That stinks. I'm keeping my child home with me but our provider is open and it's a similar situation--they're down to just 2-3 kids right now who have been there forever depending on the day and they're fairly low risk (I know at least one of the families has parents working in national security). They'd rather close than take new kids they don't know.[/quote]
