Childcare Providers Take a Hit: COVID-19 Forces Childcare Providers to Close Doors
Send support out to licensed and unlicensed in home childcare providers.
Why is this important?
As being a small business owner does come with it’s perks; right now it can be a hard time to be self-employed. Being self-employed also means no paid leave.
Currently the social distancing guidelines of no more then 10 bodies in a group has possibly affected some in home daycares.
Not only have providers struggled with social distancing; the high demand of sanitation products have left providers with nothing to keep surfaces safe.
In result home childcare providers are forced to close doors due to the Coronavirus outbreak.
These small business owners are left without work for an extended period of time.
This causes families to fall behind on bills and a dramatic decline in household income to support their families.
With the decline in income being a known factor, some childcare providers try to hold on and stay open as long as possible.
Although this puts individuals at risk of COVID-19 spreading, some childcare providers can not afford the dramatic loss of income and are forced to stay open.
For the few that do stay open, their income slowly declines due to parents being without work resulting in no money to pay to keep their child enrolled.
So many issues have taken place within the past two weeks with COVID-19 that has really took a toll on small business owners/childcare providers.
