I am remaining open.
Parents who are quarantined or decided to NOT have their child attend had two options.
-Terminate contract, pay final tuition bill
-Pay 1/2 rate for the duration of the pandemic.
I may be the odd provider out, but I disagree with closing AND charging 100% tuition. If the parent is working/working from home they may be paying double for care. If they aren't working they may/may not be being paid. I also don't incur 100% of costs when the kids are (all) absent. I would meet them halfway at 50%.
All of our centers are shut down and I am almost full but with essential personnel. I could replace, they even increased my license, but decided not to for the increased risk with more children present.
I have a child in private school and we are paying FULL tuition, the teachers are being paid 1/2. IMHO they aren't even incurring their regular expenses as they aren't paying their staff full wages.
I have 4-6 months in savings, (depending on expenses/taxes), both personal and business so I'm trying to hold out as long as possible with a full roster until I have to draw on that.
