Why not reach out and ask what the plans are and if the hours truly are changing?

FWIW, my registration fee not only covers paperwork, it covers basic supplies each child needs from wipes, to back ups, to their cubby/folders, name plates, their own notebook, writing utensils, nap mats & sheets, plus my time to put it all together.

Many daycares around here changed operating hours as well because it now takes us quite a bit of extra time to do the extra cleaning that licensing wants and parents demand during this pandemic. Put on top of that, many families who now work from home, and it just makes more business sense to recoup those hours by closing earlier instead of extra man hours & wages.
