Our center said the earliest they though they might open was the end of June, but said it could easily be later July or August, and of course even later or never is also possible. Hard to justify paying 1/3 tuition indefinitely.

Then you are likely to lose your spot. Not smart especially if they are discounting tuition for May. There will be a flood on spots for remaining preschools when this is over and you’ll be out in the cold


There will be plenty of daycare spots.


You do realize many day red are closed and even some of the big ones like BH will not be opening again for six months or more? You are naive.


I call BS on this. They need to make money, they will find a way to open.


Agree. DCUM seems to wildly overestimate how slowly we will re-open.

Spouse and I are still working so we're still paying full tuition each week because if we didn't the day care center likely wouldn't be there by the time this clears up.

BH is in many federal offices. I believe they will coordinate to reopen when they can and I don’t think it’ll be 6 months.

I think that smaller daycares will be in higher demand. But the reputable small ones are always in demand.

Nope, this is what they told us to do!

I am fully paying while they are closed. We are lucky enough to be able to work from home and have not faced salary cuts (yet) so it’s the right thing to do. If we do face financial consequences like salary cuts or God forbid one of us loses our job then we will have to stop paying.

In VA. Our daycare dropped to a “reservation fee”, but we are paying close to full tuition because we need it to exist when this is all over.

We are currently very fortunate in that we have not yet faced salary cuts. We will pay until we do.
