Would you put your child in a modular/portable classroom for preschool?

Would you pay $100 a day to put your child in a modular/portable classroom? our preschool had a fire and they are placing kids in modular classrooms until they figured out what to do next.

What would you have the preschool do? Most of the cost of child care is the staff, and I am sure the fire has cost them a lot.

I don't see why not. It's due to an emergency.

As long as it has more windows than the one I work in, sure.

Windows, AC, Heat and a bathroom, and quality caregivers (and kids never left alone in it), yes. Do you have a better option?

If the care was good pre-fire, yes. If it wasn't, then it's a good excuse to jump ship. They had a fire, not like they just set up a portable and called it a day and opened for business.

I assume you are talking about Georgetown Hill. I wondered if the portables have bathrooms. That would be the main issue to me. I also wondered about playground space. Are they using the small fenced in playground? Do they get time when the big kids are not around? If you trusted them with your kids before I would do the same now. Have they told you anything about the old location? The neighborhood is curious.

PP who works in a trailer here (during building renovations). They come with heat, AC, and bathrooms, though the temperature control is not quite as good as in a building where you can set it room by room.

Are you poor or stupid?

For that cost take your kid to another center and if you don’t like it come back when it’s finished. You can’t put your kid in a portable. C’mon

School principal here: actually the folks in our Modular and the trailer always have excellent heating and cooling. It’s those in the building (which was renovated in 2011) that have the most problems with temperature control.

Why not?

My kid's kindergarten classroom was in a portable and it was significantly nicer than the unrenovated building that contained his PK classroom. And even that classroom - - far from bathrooms, poor climate control, no walls separating it from the other PK classrooms - - didn't hurt him.

OP here. No clue at all. They are talking about having the portable in the parking lot. The playground is fenced off though so I don’t know how kids are going to access it.
