[quote=Anonymous]Our preschool said tuition is "optional" while closed and that families that do not pay will not loose slots. At the same time, they said that tuition is necessary for teachers and staff getting paid and that those who can afford to pay should do so. We paid full tuition in April. However, the director recently revealed that only a modest percentage of families paid April tuition. I understand some parents may have been furloughed and cannot pay, or had to cut hours to care for kids, but I worry many parents can afford to pay but simply don't want to because the school is closed. It doesn't seem equitable or sustainable to have a small number of families pay full tuition while most pay nothing. I wonder if the center shouldn't do more to encourage all families (barring financial hardship of course) to pay something? On the one hand I feel I'm doing the right thing by the teachers to keep paying; on the other, I feel a little by like I'm being taken advantage of because so few families are still paying. What would you do?[/quote]
