[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it legal for day cares to still bill during this time? They are operating as an essential daycare and simultaneously collecting monies from families who are not essential. We get the fact that teachers still have to be paid but they are running a very bare bones distance learning (a daily 20 minute Zoom). Having paid April, which our kid did not attend, was that legal? The last attendance date for our child was mid-March. The contract states we have to pay irrespective of Acts of God, holidays, etc. Yet, in this situation there is no way they can uphold their end of the contract which is to be open from 7 am to 7 pm Monday - Friday. We are about to ask to have our April payment credited to the payment for when we return....if we return.

You have no case.  They are still billing as they are doing distance learning.  If they are smart they have a discount to you for April.  They have every right to ask for compensation for you to keep a spot especially if they are doing distance learning.  Also why wouldn’t you want to continue to support your child’s school? I imagine your answer is financial.  However, your school needs to remain viable to continue to pay teachers and expenses so it can be around when we return.  If you don’t pay you don’t deserve one of the spots that many will take when it’s over.  I’m empathetic to your financial situation but they are a business as well.  Again, you have no legal case.
