Yesterday I was told that my daughter's preschool may be closing as her class of 20 is now down to just 3 kids.

It gave me more anxiety than anything so far knowing that, after my husband's hours have been cut, we may have to pull back from work even more.

Colorado has no intention of closing daycare as health care providers must be able to go to work, but that doesn't mean providers can financially keep their doors open.

With less than a quarter of parents keeping kids in childcare, CDC restrictions and the uncertainty of it all, how can daycares sustainably stay open for the long haul?
