wow. which daycare? did they say how they are doing to handle the cleaning? is it open back up, just like before? or will there be staggered schedules, smaller groups, etc?

I’m sorry, that sucks. Im wondering though - this has been going on for what, 6 weeks now? Many daycares have been open for essential workers this entire time, and in theory essential worker kids are higher risk than the general population since there parents are working in hospitals, etc. Have there been any outbreaks at daycares? Or among daycare teachers?
Not meaning to dismiss your concerns, just wondering if we have a reason to be hopeful.

Most programs in VA? Data please. I don’t know of any open daycares (center or religious), at least in the McLean/Tysons area. I can see some home daycares could be open.
In MD preschools can register to care for kids of essential workers. My daughter is going in.
What if one parent is teleworking 100 percent 40 hours and the other parent works at an essential business but can do half the work teleworking and half the week they have to go in? Would such a family qualify in MD to send their kid to preschool? Just curious. We don’t live in MD.

It might be something, but it isn't certainty.
Also, just because he says they can open, doesn't mean they will.
