The payment scam OP is describing is ILLEGAL.

OP is obviously an unethical daycare owner trying to get as much money out of people as possible.

Yeah I doubt some parent is on here crying chicken little and that everyone needs to keep paying some money. I’m a parent and know I won’t be sending my toddler back for the foreseeable future so we withdrew and I’ll keep working at home. If I need to, I’ll hire a nanny or find a nanny share. It’s not zero risk but lower than a center setting. I don’t think there’s a huge demand for center care right now.

I feel bad for owners of centers, but it’s not on families to keep their business afloat. A lot of industries are being decimated right now.[/quote]

I made a number of posts supporting what the daycare is doing.  Not only do I not own a daycare, I’ve made essentially the same decisions you have.

I’ve pulled my kid because I don’t see is going back any time soon and I am willing to deal with finding a spot or alternative option when the time comes.

But that doesn’t remotely mean I fault the owners.  It’s absolutely reasonable to prioritize folks who have paid through this time, and if someone wants to make sure they have a spot, they may need to pay.  It’s not unfair, it’s definitely not illegal, and it is the only way a daycare will survive.

What your post ignores is that no one is forced to do this.  You and I (and I am sure others) have decided they aren’t willing to pay.  And that’s fine.  A daycare owner will have to deal with that and hope enough people come back.[/quote]
