After reading through the thread and talking with the center director my own kids are enrolled with, 50% seems like a good compromise. It'll keep the center open and, honestly, most states who've mandated daycare closures have updated their unemployment insurance benefits to include daycare owners. I encourage you to take a look. If it is, that usually accommodates the recipient with 75% of pay - which is better for you in the long run.
The majority of the posters here are those "alternative" home-based providers. There is no help for us. If we go away, what would you guys do then?
