[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Leave them both in and take on a job at the daycare while you are looking for job in your field.  I know several women who have done
this.

Work a deal with the day care, work at the day care temporarily.[/quote]

This is a thought. Or even just talk to day care and see if there’s a way to defer the majority of their tuition for a few months. [/quote]

Daycares run on thin margins, none will let you defer tuition, especially for two spots.[/quote]

I’ve been a director at three different programs and have waived / reduced tuition for families in this exact situation at all three. Programs want continuity just as much as you do. In most cases, it’s a very short-term solution that garners a lot of goodwill on both sides. Even if the program doesn’t have a scholarship fund, it’s worth asking.[/quote]

Should have also mentioned that, as a parent, I was also able to get my tuition reduced by 50% when I lost a job.

Ask.[/quote]

+ 1. Our daycare director deals with this and (a) is human and (b) views a 1-3 month blip of reduced payment as a drop in the bucket compared to the years of enrollment you'll ultimately provide. [/quote]
