I'm thinking about taking mine out permanently & re-enroling after this is over. Why? I'm at home so no reason to put my child at risk. The only reason I haven't yet is because of the massive drama I had enrolling her in the first place and untangling us from the government for CCS. So i've just been keeping her at home, still paying & chewing through our absent days. I read somewhere that they were having a meeting and discussing child care centers & preschools at the end of this week. I'm hoping they close them then I won't have to worry about it.

They won't close them. They're talking about continuing to pay the subsidy & you not paying the gap. I had the same issue with enrolment.
It's too little too late, frankly. We're told to stay home unless necessary so I already took my daughter out & temporarily cancelled her enrolment. Most have already done this. Then I was shamed by.staff for taking her out because the centre might not survive.

Yeah i was worried about blow back about pulling her out too. So things like that are happening.... I wonder how they treat you after this is all over & you re-enrol....So many things to worry about these days. Which action to you take? I don't know what to do right now. Maybe if I sit on it a bit it'll come to me lol 😞

My childcare has been wonderful, reducing fees and also saying that if you need to leave, you are welcome back Or welcome to stay casual (they usually have a. 3year waitlist and that is not an exaggeration but it is very empty there now which is sad). It’s tough for everyone

Yes. Starting this week. DD is in a daycare kindy & it was a difficult decision. She's clingy & only just settled without tears at drop off & ran off happily to play. I feel incredibly guilty & still wonder if it's the right decision.
Why? Because I'm home, DS is home, (school closed) & cases here are increasing, people aren't taking the virus rules seriously & I'm fearful of kids being sent to kindy sick.
Permanently? I hope not. Even if it's only term 4 I'll send her back to get what early education benefit she can.
