I watched the first meeting.
Some salient points:
The center in question has been operating at a deficit for years. The tuition raise is to bring them into the black and also raise quality to match that of the other local centers owned by the same company.
There was a lot of talk about how difficult staffing is. Raises for staff have varied from 15-28% and represent a significant increase in cost of care over the last few years.
Parents accused the company of lying about their losses, because they wouldn't share the specific numbers. (I'm not sure what business makes their specific financials public knowledge, so I'm not sure where parents got the expectation that it was reasonable to request that)
Parents requested that the center not improve quality of care. Expressed that they didn't think routine building/facility maintenance was necessary.
Parents are upset that more training days for staff means they are moving to a care schedule more in line with the public schools.
