Lakewood Botei Din- Halachic Guidelines playgroup Tuition

Lakewood Botei Din worked on a pshara regarding tuition for Playgroup morahs and babysitters it was approved by Harav Forcheimer shlita see full letter below (courtesy of LNN)

being that there is no clear halachic consensus parents can not be forced to make further  payments.  Morahs should not cash any head checks they have and return it as parents have a halachic right to cancel it  unless they are given specific permission from the parents to cash the checks.
with regards to the March tuition payment the morah should keep the full payment with regards to April the parents should pay 1/3 or 1/4 of the regular monthly tuition payment

for a babysitter that charges by the day the parents should pay 1/3 of the daily payment from the day the group closed
if a parent has the financial ability to  pay the full tuition to the morah it would be commendable especially this month with Pesach. They may deduct the portion from Maaser if they pay more than the suggested amount and the morah is in need of these funds.
