[quote=Anonymous]I would not financially commit to a full year of preschool. Things will likely shut down again. We are likely going to enroll our soon to be 3 y/o in part time preschool (5 y/o will go to K 2 days per week), but we’re bracing for things to shut down. I would pay partial rate for a while for preschool, but it doesn’t make financial sense for our family to pay full price for an extended period of time for childcare we cannot use. Childcare is already a huge portion of my salary and at times it doesn’t even feel worth it to work.

It cannot be the responsibility of families to keep childcare providers afloat. If our government can bail out airlines they should bailout the childcare industry that our economy so relies upon.

That is a long way of saying we are preparing to be flexible and will not sign any long term contracts. We’re also hoping to continue to be granted full time work from home ability and expanded hours to get work done. If things change then I fear I could very realistically end up getting pushed out of the workforce which sucks. It was hard enough being a dual working family before the pandemic.[/quote]
