There isn't a good answer. You shouldn't lose your income because of a global disaster, and have no safety net. Parents shouldn't pay for childcare they can't use for weeks/months on end. Parents are now working round the clock trying to keep up with their full time jobs, while also doing (a part of) the job they usually pay you to do.
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!
