[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Director as well here (DC). When the new guidance came out in June, we did away with most of our policies. No more sending kids home for runny noses, hallelujah! Unfortunately right now I have 2classrooms that I had no choice but to shut down because a staff person with allergies just tested positive as did one of her coworkers. She is actually quite ill. So I can’t open classrooms because we are already working with a skeleton crew despite large pay increases, bonuses and the Early Childhood Pay Equity Fund set to begin dispersing this fall. Hiring is brutal because everyone wants to work from home these days. Not sure what the answer is but believe me, directors are beyond over it. Many of us are contemplating leaving the field as well.[/quote]

Do you refund tuition when you have to shutdown due to staffing reasons? I know that’s not listed as a legitimate closure in the enrollment contract my center  has.[/quote]

NP - The alternative is to reduce capacity and terminate families. We've considered closing our infant and toddler rooms which have the greatest staff requirements but realize this would impact a ton of families who are already struggling to find care.

Or raise tuition to either hire more staff or issue refunds for closures.[/quote]
