[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can they give you reopening criteria when the decision isn't in their hands? It'll depend on what the state says. Right now most schools are mandated to be closed, except for some daycares only for essential personnel.[/quote]

Then say "we will open as soon a permitted subject to (1) (2) (3)"[/quote]

Isn't it obvious that they would open up as soon as they're permitted by the state? Who wouldn't do that?[/quote]

Places with teachers who are afraid to work.
Places who don't know how many kids they will actually have coming in.
Places who may not be able to pay their bills but aren't sure when loan money is coming in... etc etc

OP, I sympathize totally.  My kids are school-age now but they do aftercare at a facility we love which is also a neighborhood preschool.  It's SO frustrating and chicken/egg because they don't know what the requirements will be (for example, they emailed the other day that a lot of childcare places are looking into the feasibility of 10 people/room) or how long the orders will go on.  But it's a massive expense for most families (when my kids were younger we paid $4k/mo so I TOTALLY get it) and people need to be able to plan.  And then some are threatening to kick out people who don't pay during closure, which feels awful, but at the same time, they need a way to figure out how to manage if they DO have to have smaller classes.  SO hard.[/quote]

Also consider supplies. Centers cannot open without adequate amounts of bleach and gloves. They are both required by licensing. [/quote]
