Our center is not charging anything, although they have asked people to pay what they can and what they think is fair.

They’ve furloughed the staff because, with the extra $600 per week unemployment, it will supposedly be better for them than getting paid.

That may be true, but it has definitely made me less inclined to pay much while they are closed.[/quote]

I'm pretty sure we are at the same center. I wish they would be less ambiguous about how much tuition they need parents to pay to make the payroll and reopen when this is over. On the one hand, I want to support them and can afford it. On the other hand, as indicated by your example, there are probably other families who can afford to pay while they are closed but choose not to do so or pay a lesser amount. And that seems to introduce some unfairness and makes me less inclined to want to pay as time goes on.[/quote]

DP, and we're probably also at the same center.  Technically, we can afford to pay the full cost right now, but we're paying less.  It's a lot of money for us, and right now, that would be better spent by getting more backyard equipment or other things to occupy the kids while we both work FT.

I also wish they'd be clearer about how much they need people to pay to stay afloat, etc.  Mostly I think they've handled this situation extremely well, so that gripe is relatively minor.[/quote]
