[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a ton of dependencies here and I really hope the chains (Kindercare, Primrose, Bright Horizons, Winwood) are  going to find a way to help their employees.  It's unconscionable that they wouldn't.[/quote]

I wouldn't count on it. In 9-11, the workers at the daycare center at the World Trade Center rescued every kid and carried them for miles to safety--literally (even though their designated escape area was actually one of the towers that later fell).  After 9-11, the company that owned the center refused to give them any sort of pay or compensation, even make-up pay for the last pay period.

OP here. This is a good point. Thank you for bringing it up. I think that most child care providers and teachers would put themselves in harm's way to protect the children and students. For that reason I would absolutely agree to pay for a couple weeks of closure. These are good people that I would absolutely want to support. It just gets hard when there may be no end in sight with this virus, and having to pay for many months of childcare that we aren't receiving just wouldn't be sustainable for most families.[/quote]
