[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is what I wrote in a different thread (I’m posting this to try and be helpful and will try to answer questions but we are in dark just like the general public):

Take my advice if you are in Maryland. I run a daycare so this is what we are being told.

Only EPCC approved daycares will be allowed to operate until phase 3. When EPCC started we were allowed to accept kids up to 13 years old (even if we were not geared toward it). Start calling now about securing a spot. That may mean paying a holding fee. Many in home daycares (that's me) are not doing in person tours or interviews so be prepared to have these on video chats.

I have been preaching this since the beginning: daycare spots are significantly reduced and many daycares are closing or already closed. There will not be enough spots for all of the children who need care.[/quote]

I wish people would stop freaking out. There will be enough spots. A lot of people will continue to telework and can provide care at home. Many will choose a nanny instead. Many will stay home themselves. A lot of people are scared to put their kids back in daycare. [/quote]

It is not freaking out. Just in my own home I have already lost five spots. That means those five families now I have to scramble and find care elsewhere and many day cares Have reduced capacity. It is based on the number of people who live in your home and you were only allowed to have a maximum of 10 people. Centers are also reducing spots. Many families cannot keep their kids home from daycare they need to go back to work and those are the kids who will need care.have reduce capacity.
