[quote=Anonymous]I’m a pp who goes to same chain.  I’m on the fence about trust.  here is my personal dilemma, maybe it resonates with others for more context:

+ We love the teachers  and the local administration. Truly exceptional. My kid is so happy there. she has bad anxiety and they have been great getting her from a melting down mess to a confident, comfortable kid who loves learning.

- It’s one of the more expensive centers.  The decisions are made by central office. I’ve had some issues previously navigating them.  The letter last month did say that tuition would be frozen if you paid full April. There is a big price increase for next year - ranges from $100-300 a month depending on age/program. If you pay May and June with no childcare - it negates any savings.

We were razor thin tight For next year before this all happened.  We stretched for our kid. Our financial situation is looking shaky at best for next year.  We are barely holding onto our jobs Due to economic crisis - coupled by my now poor performance due to full time childcare while working.

It’s a hard choice - if we do #2 50% for May and June - it’s still $2000 with no childcare. Or, I can do #3 - take that $2k hire a close friend as a babysitter or stash it away as an extra mortgage payment if there is job loss.

If we go into the fall and get shut down again then...we are back to deciding between mortgage payment or childcare.

Try to find a cheaper option for Fall - assuming there are options...  our backup still has space but less childcare coverage. They are not charging for May/June, did a more reasonable financial split for March/April.

It’s a catch-22.
