I have confidence unemployment rules will be adjusted as they are indicating - but they need to move faster so providers can make plans without jeopardizing themselves.

Until more is known, I hope that parents who can afford to pay, do pay, at least for some reasonable closure period. I hope that providers that are able to give parents a break, do give parents a break on tuition. I hope everyone stays safe and healthy!
For months, yes I agree but paying for child care isn't just about paying for the day to day services they receive.

That line of thinking is why this is such a dilemma for so many on both sides.
