The fact that Hudson College provided Hudson College families depend on before care (from 07:30 AM) and after care (till 04:30 PM) as part of the tuition fees made the decision selecting Hudson an attractive decision. Based on the email that was sent June 21 to Hudson families the before and after care will not be available anymore in the same way it was available before the pandemic. A lot of us are concerned for the following reasons:

- The timing of such a decision is unacceptable, especially that a lot of us already paid 2021-22 tuitions

- For parents that depended on the before and after care, this is an extra $300 a month a child which is another $3k a year a child

- Some programs such as skating and swimming programs are unlikely to happen again in 2021-22 and so that means we are paying more for less

- The fact that after care started at 07:30 AM supported working parents to get to work soon enough to work for ~8 hours to then pick up their kids at 04:30 PM

What we are asking for - to revert changes to the before and after program to the way it was before the pandemic.
