[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a bad situation all around.  I expect many many daycares to close.  [/quote]

Then they should ask for donations.  Not charge for a service they aren't providing and threaten to take people's spots away.[/quote]

For-profit places can't ask for donations.

They can set up an employee relief fund, but then they would need to prove that money went only to employees directly. [/quote]

Oh boo hoo.  I'm a parent at a for-profit center and this is very simple.  Parents get together, collect money (we're using paypal) and distribute it to teachers.  Not sure what the problem is here.

Who is deciding in what order the teachers are paid and how much each is paid?  You have all of the daycare teachers on Paypal?  Even the older ones?  The admin isn't involved?  So much is weird about this.[/quote]

It's really not weird at all, we're doing it in the same way we coordinate holiday gifts for teachers, and yes the admin are aware and supportive.  What is weird is charging people tuition when your school is closed.[/quote]

That doesnt answer the questions posed.[/quote]

I'm not sure why you need to know how the teachers are receiving the money (either Venmo or Visa gift cards, Paypal is just to collect the funds), apart from you're looking for excuses to charge parents tuition while not providing a service.[/quote]

Huh?  You're projecting.  I have no stake in it, I just think it's kind of funny that you think you have this all figured out and are patting yourself so thoroughly on the back when the logistics of doing it fairly are nearly impossible.[/quote]

Um, as I mentioned we've done this before, for holiday gifts so it's definitely not impossible.  In fact, as another poster mentioned, it's easy.[/quote]
