[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Former Montessori teacher here, and my son is set to start the primary three year old program next year. I am not going to enroll if it is hybrid with a distance learning component or an A day / B day scenario.

He has been with a nanny and will continue that way. Kids need predictability and routine, and I cannot afford to pay tuition and pay for a nanny. The nanny is predictable, and we can build a good routine. I cannot see early childhood distance learning offered 3 days a week as a valuable use of our family funds.

I am certain that if this is sorted out by January, there will be spaces available and schools happy to accept partial year tuition. [/quote]

Firstly, I laugh at “ a nanny is predictable.” Also, you think there will be a spot in January when many preschools are closed for good? [/quote]

[b]Don't think this will be sorted out by Jan. Cold months will be crazier. If someone has symptoms will be hard to know if its a regular cold, the flu or COVID19.[/b] [/quote]

I'm the PP former Montessori teacher here. Yes, a nanny is predictable. They come when you ask them to and do not when you don't (as long as you are a predictable payer!).

I actually wanted to respond to the other poster though. We just had a seasonal allergy issue with my son, and no one could say definitively that it wasn't Covid. We ended up paying our nanny all of last week while we had no care and waited 5 days for the negative test result to come back. The point being, this poster is right - when cold and flu season arrives, we are going to be having Covid scare after scare. Furthermore, our health care system is so disorganized that it takes a very long time to get a result back. I can foresee constantly yo-yoing in and out of school next year.

It's very sad to hear of all the preschools that are closing, however. I am wondering if there will be more homeschool coops starting. We are in Prince George's county, and they are mostly Christian based here, which is not really our preference.
