[quote=Anonymous]Op here. Here’s the situation :
March - daycare shutdown about when we planned to pull 3 year old anyway. We told the staff we were pulling her but we’d make our end of month payment. Daycare shutdown over the weekend and there were no more required payments. We made full March and April payments to the “Covid relief fund” the Y set up. The director of the daycare specifically called us and said they were trying to solicit donations to the fund. The fund’s goal was $2 million and eventually raised roughly $3 million. The y was providing meals, job hunt support, checking in on seniors, and running a small space for children of essential workers. I don’t know how much of our donations (over $3k) went to things like teachers. I didn’t pay in May and then was thinking about paying in June but it’s a lot and now some families are paying and receiving childcare while there’s no indication we will be allowed back anytime soon. (The center is operating on 50% capacity.) There are no fees to be on the waitlist and no payment was required since Feb. At first my thought was “of course we pay the teachers” but I also feel we’ve donated a fair bit already. [/quote]
