Daycare staffing issues around Albany?

Our locally owned daycare, which we have used for the last 4.5 years and are overall happy with, has been having staffing issues. Especially in the toddler rooms. Just about weekly they are asking for "volunteers" of families to keep their child/ren home for a credit so the center can maintain ratio. I am glad they take ratio seriously, and appreciate the credit, but it is getting to the point where we are unsure if we can rely on having childcare day to day. Both of us work full time out of the house, so this is not sustainable. Not to mention the stress of the situation figuring out a backup plan every time it happens.

Just wondering if this is a systemic issue at other centers in the Capital District and we need to suck it up for another year until we hit preK, or if it's just our facility and we should start looking elsewhere.
