They absolutely do not pay the daycare workers beyond a couple days of sick leave.

However, they do pay rent and fixed costs for utilities and benefits. A few employees are salaried and they get paid.


All of the teachers in our daycare are salaried with the exception of a handful of floaters/subs who only get paid for hours worked.

In home daycares don't count.

Well from the OP it's been twice in two months so that's a quarter of the time they are paying for. It is a burden for a working parent. Of course, it's not the provider's fault, and these closures are a huge strain on them as well because many families will make the calculation that paying for daycare is not worth it.


Oh stop. We paid for 6 months of full time preschool at the beginning of the pandemic and we got a one hour zoom per day. A few weeks Is nothing!!


Congratulations to you. I hope you feel good about yourself.


We knew that it was going to be bad so we took our child out of daycare.

Sadly, yeah, normal. My daycare has been closed twice in the past month for COVID cases (although fortunately only for a couple days each time), even though it only closed twice in the entire previous year. Delta's a b*tch.
