[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sort of shocked you would consider this a question.

How do you propose any of the staff pay themselves if you aren't paying tuition?

This should've been worked into your budget from the beginning. [/quote]
No, it is ridiculous to think your budget should assume a) paying daycare you aren't using, for weeks; as well as, for some people b) not being able to work.

We aren't talking about parents voluntarily taking their kids out for a three week vacation, or kids getting sick for a few days and hiring a sitter or staying home from work on top of tuition. We're talking about what might look like a month of no daycare. That's extreme and this whole situation is completely bizarre and unpredictable.

OP, my thought was that maybe some of the larger centers have "reserves" for the care providers? I don't really know how that works. I'm a high school teacher, and even up until last week MCEA was sorting out if WE would get regular pay if we shut down for a prolonged period of time (yes, we will).

Obviously I feel for care providers, particularly those who are more so part of the babysitting gig economy. Our former nanny does a part time, after school babysitting job, but this is her primary source of income. If the family she works for start teleworking, they won't have a need for her and she's starting to worry about how she'll make money over the next few weeks.[/quote]
