Just heard today that childcare is re-opening on Monday. It’s a re-enroll or lose your spot situation. Wasn’t ready to make this call so soon! Would you go back? Have an infant; in San Diego, CA; SO and I are WFH.

Ask them about what pre-cautions they’re taking and see if you feel comfortable with what they’re planning.
If you don’t want to lose your spot, enroll and ask for partial enrollment options (2-3 days /wk). This way both of you can have a break.
Good luck!

Love the partial enrollment ask idea!

Can you pay but keep kid(s) home. Save spot but are cautious of potential risks?

like

That’s the safest bet! Expensive, but saves spot and kid’s health.

We are in the SF Bay Area and our daycare opens June 8th. I will be there at drop off day one. Early. Waiting for the doors to open. Our daycare is taking precautions (each kid issued their own crayons, bleach the legos between kids, 12 kids with two teachers per room, etc.)

like

I wouldn’t go back right now. I have a 5 year old and one on the way. I’ve asked myself what I would do if childcare or Summercamp opened now. It’s a tough situation now but it won’t be forever.

like

My kids daycare is still open and never closed (they are a small institution and weren’t forced to shut plus parents kept sending kids so there was a need). We are in the Bay Area, kid is at home, we are paying 100% because we don’t want to lose the spot.

like

San Jose. And yes :)

Our daycare is making us pay 50%...and they're still closed!

That’s crazy

Hi everyone. I’m a front end software engineer.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
