[quote=Anonymous]Would you prefer they tell you that they are closing the center because they do not have enough staff, that 60% of the staff have children in DCPS and will be staying home with their own children on that day?

Or would you rather they say that they are adding a full school deep cleaning on the weekend and they will be charging each family $50 to pay for the cost of an extra cleaning that is not a regular cost incorporated into the tuition?

Most daycares operate pretty close to the budget and do not make much money.  So major extra costs like a full deep cleaning would be something they pay on top of regularly scheduled cleaning and for them to hire a service outside regular business hours is more expensive.  Alternatively, if they have a day that they know that a lot of staff will not be available, they can close on that day, not pay the staff (most of the staff is paid hourly only for hours worked) and they can then schedule the cleaners to come during the day when it is cheaper and also use the money saved on staff wages to help cover the additional cleaning costs without having to charge the clients extra.[/quote]
