Will your preschool prorate tuition based on reduced hours in the fall?

I know we are a couple months off, but we just got a survey from my daughter's preschool (M-F, half day) and it sounds like it will be very likely that the school will reduce classroom time significantly. This school goes by MCPS schedule, but is not part of the MCPS system.

Does anyone know how their preschool will handle this in terms of tuition? For the spring months missed we got 2 of the 3 months back, but I wonder if they would prorate or charge full tuition despite greatly reduced hours.

I'm just wondering what other schools are proposing to do in the fall in terms of what school will look like and tuition.

Mine will close. It wasn’t clear if that would be permanent, but they can’t make the money add up on a reduced schedule/class size. They have been around for over 20 years.

Op here, so sad to hear that your school will close.

I’m willing to pay full tuition but it’s already been a squeeze before pandemic and now to think of a few hours a week instead of 20, is just a tough pill to swallow.

Just trying to prepare myself mentally for what it might be like.
