[quote=Anonymous]Work is full steam ahead for the foreseeable future (think essential functions...).  I have two under 5 and daycare is obviously and understandably closed for who knows how long.  Given that, we're likely to hire someone to be with the kids so we can work, meaning childcare costs will be 2X normal. My willingness to incur that cost for an extended period depends on whether the (quite good) teachers at said daycare are getting paid while the center is closed.  If the answer is yes, I'm more inclined to grin and bear the expense as long as we can swing it (which may not be the duration if this drags into the summer).  If the answer is no, I'm thinking the right thing is to stop paying tuition and instead put that money toward employing one of the teachers directly as a nanny.  I'd also be troubled by the operators basically doubling their margins by taking in tuition and incurring no labor cost, all while they're not actually operating...

An embarrassing embedded question is I don't know whether the teachers at the school are hourly or salaried.  I'm in Arlington.

Anyone know what centers are likely to do?  Does the answer depend on the type of center (for-profit vs non-profit).  Looking for answers from both center admins, teachers, and parents who are knowledgeable.  Any insight would be welcome! [/quote]
