[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our daycare wrote today that they plan to reopen on 4/1. It feels like a weird money grab attempt. OSSE has no hard rules on closing daycares. We can’t afford to pay for daycare that we aren’t receiving. But we are also afraid to lose our place in the competitive DC daycare world. Isn’t it dangerous for them to even consider opening?[/quote]

I am an in-home daycare and I find it offensive that you think it’s a money grab to be open. I don’t know about your daycare but you don’t see a lot of rich in home daycare providers around, do you? This is a very difficult decision to us as well because clearly people do not want to pay for a service they’re not getting yet we also have bills and families we have to provide for. We are mostly not small businesses so we have very little recourse in terms of government release or assistance. This is why we must open so we don’t lose our homes our cars so we can stay afloat and buy groceries for our families. Believe me this is not a money grab. We are considered essential yet do not receive hazard pay or guarantee payments from anybody so we must stay open. We are just as scared as you are about the coronavirus we are just as frightened so please go easy on us when these hard decisions have to be made. I don’t think very many people in this entire forum can understand how difficult it is, the stress and anxiety that we are going through. [/quote]
