I realize that many preschools run on very thin margins, but so are many families. What "sacrifice" means for you, may not mean the same for others. Nobody wants their childcare providers to go out of business, but that doesn't mean that families who choose to pull their children out of should be guilted into paying outrageous amounts of money. And yes, to many many working families, $4k is outrageous. As far as established environments and familiar surroundings, perhaps your children are very different, but I can guarantee that mine will be starting over regardless what school she goes to after staying home for 3 months. I agree that paying your childcare is a kind thing to do if you can afford it, but please don't make the rest of us seem heartless because we chose our family financial survival over someone else's[/quote]

If you could afford it when you were using it, you can afford it even though you're not using it.[/quote]

Are you paying attention to the news?  Even if you didn't lose a job, a lot has changed--salary cuts, lost work hours, *much* lower pay for people who rely primarily on commissions, profit-sharing, or other such models of compensation.[/quote]

What that proves is... you actually couldn't afford it before, but you were paying for it anyway. You were living beyond your means and lacked any cushion for emergencies.[/quote]

Np. Or it could mean they can’t pay for two. I’m still working so I need somebody to watch my special needs kid. I had to find someone else to come in my home and watch my kid. I’m not going to continue to pay for care from a provider that is not providing care, plus pay another provider that is providing care. [/quote]
