[quote=Anonymous]Our daycare is open, but only families with healthcare personnel are sending their children right now. The rest of us (about 25 other families) have agreed to keep our kids home and still pay. Of course, they're only staffing a teacher or two which makes sense as the numbers don't warrant more and why not keep more people safe. But with the rest of us paying, I would like the owner to continue paying the other teachers even if they aren't needed at work right now.

I know the owner participates in "ratio cuts" during normalcy, meaning if kids don't show up, she sends teachers home without pay. Even when we don't send DD, which is often, we still pay, so why shouldn't the teachers continue to be paid?

I admit I don't know about the business model of daycare centers and if this practice is built in for expenses or if it's to increase the owner's profits, I guess it's not my business, but I just want everyone to be taken care of and treated fairly, especially now. Is it inappropriate to ask if she's still paying teachers through this crisis? If she isn't, should I stop paying tuition and reach out to DD's teachers and offer it to them directly on the side to help? If they aren't being paid, I can't imagine they don't need the support.
