[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I know which daycare you are talking about. We can work from home till end of July, and possibly longer. I want to keep our spot, and I DO REALLY want to send my child back to daycare once it is opened to all non-essential personnel. The question is I am conflicted of keeping child at home with us not learning much/drive us crazy(virtual distance learning not working) or risking my child by sending her back to daycare.

I understand the priority system because of limited space, but I hear that they are not guaranteed a spot unless you keep on paying full tuition which increase the possibility & I am not sending back my child definitely not in June or July. We may or high chance not sending our child back till we feel comfortable & forced to head back to work in office. I don't feel like paying full tuition & we are not well off, money is tight. We are frustrated.[/quote]

You're frustrated because what they are doing is not legal, it's extortion. There are other ways to pick families without resorting to economic discrimination. The lottery system is widely used in educational settings. It could be a need-based selection, in which for example a single parent called back to work and needing childcare might be prioritized over someone else. Etc, etc...

Choosing the ones who paid while receiving no service is not only wrong, but potentially actionable. They would be ones most likely to be able to afford sitters or nannies anyway...
