[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many preschools have closed in the area.  Our eldest attends a private school off River Rd in Bethesda and our younger kids are ready for preschool but there are no spots for awhile.  [b]Did the pandemic cause this[/b]? We were shocked to hear of two preschools that have been around for 20 years that closed for good.  We don’t want a nanny as we don’t believe it helps children socially after they are infants and the programming and consistency seems to be an issue ( per our friends).  As parents are returning to work, how is the demand going to be handled?[/quote]

Yes it did.  Reduced capacity/spots, loss of revenue.  In general people don't want to pay for quality care so when the revenue dried up businesses could not continue to operate.    [/quote]

I think another factor is that there is still a sizable segment of the population that is scared to bring their kids back to childcare.  They hired nannies or have made do with the kids at home.  There's an imbalance right now with reduced spots overall across the region but some places are struggling to make it because because families aren't returning.  [/quote]
