They will be paid in full for the subsidy kids, but there will be no reimbursement for private pay kids. None.
QRIS is put on hold here. We are receiving no licensing visits, either, unless there is a complaint. We have NO ratios at this point as long as we have volunteers. I am not taking any new kids but many are advertising about daily part-time care.
I have 12 kids but only 8 parents and I'm hoping the small group will be a good thing helping to survive this crisis.
We were closed Thurs and Fri for spring break anyway this week.
I do think there will gradually be a 14 day shutdown implemented but so far my parents are working from home and I'm getting paid. I have been down on children so I hope the communication/working together continues.
To be honest, my crew have been very good thus far. Hoping it continues!
