Wow! Great articles. Based on this data it confirms OPs fears.
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.

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.

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?
