I would find out what happened when the private school closed in the spring- did they still pay tuition? For our daycare when closed we didnt pay so if our daycare did a private kinder I would expect to not pay. But I would want to know that up front
I think this is a difference between daycare and school. Daycare is set up more as a pay as you go model, while school is more semester all or nothing. But I also have no experience as a school aged parent.
We also haven’t been paying for daycare, but I would expect the school to still require tuition.
We did not get any break in tuition at my kid’s private school last year (nor did I expect it).
Generally, private schools are much more effective in their remote learning compared to public schools. We are also able to have more kids return in some of our “hybrid” scenarios compared to those in public schools because our class sizes are so much smaller.
