The pandemic has had a substantial impact on the childcare industry. Fortunately, the state’s early education and child care providers have been able to access state and federal funding to purchase PPE, provide scholarships, and offer other supports. According to Carsey School researcher Jessica Carson, that funding has allowed many childcare providers to remain open. “I think we’ve already seen some early evidence that no, we are seeing some losses already, we are seeing some doors close that will not be reopened again,” said Carson.
