No service, no tuition.

Online service, reduced tuition.

Previous threads with posters urging full payment were probably planted by preschool directors or staff. Same for all the threads urging people to get take-out.

+ 1. Look, if I’m going to donate thousands of dollars to charity during this crisis, it will be to the truly destitute and not some company that should have done business continuity planning. [/quote]

Not a center director or staff. This is such a disgusting attitude towards the people you trust with your child all day. We’re affected by the Marriott furloughs and we’re still paying partial tuition because we aren’t ghouls who don’t care if our child’s teachers can eat or pay rent. Have you never seen a budget for one of these places? The margins are thin. They’re not taking your money and rolling around in it Scrooge mcduck style.[/quote].

PP here. Wasn’t aware donating to the Red Cross as opposed to a national chain of daycares is disgusting or ghoulish. I’m a Democrat who happily pays taxes so that the poor can have a better shot in life. But I also wholeheartedly believe that businesses need to due their due diligence when it comes to protecting themselves and their employees, and not transfer the burden onto their customers. Daycares are not charities, and I won’t treat them as such with my money. If the center closes and I suddenly have thousands of extra dollars in my pocket, I’m sending that money to the Red Cross, homeless shelters, etc., who serve those who will be hit much harder by this pandemic. Our daycare center is responsible for making sure their employees continue to be fed by purchasing business insurance.

And quit acting like daycare teachers are just saints. It’s a job, just like being an architect or web developer or whatever. [/quote]
