With all the layoffs in the last couple years, a few of the people I know who operated day homes have had to shut down. 1 spouse is/was out of work so they pulled their kids out of the day home. The subsidized daycares like the YMCA have years waiting lists at this point. I hear the Quarry Park one doesn't even add people to the list anymore because it's so long.
There are so many insurance/security/staffing concerns with starting a daycare that it doesn't surprise me that new ones aren't being opened.
