Really? MCPS DL worked fine for us in the spring and will be very robust in the fall. Why would you intentionally stay in a germ-infested daycare?

NP here. Probably so the parents can keep their jobs?

OP didn't say she needed the childcare.

No I didn’t, but in many cases parents do need the childcare.

How is a 4 year old allowed to even mix with a 8 year old? I've never seen a center where this is allowed. Was it a fly by night operation?

A lot of daycare centers offer before and after care, but they usually keep the children separated

+1 very limited capacity, but it’s being offered.

We aren’t going to apply. It’s very expensive and if my 6 year old spends half the day on zoom, she can zoom at home instead of being distracted by 10 other kids. We’re planning for other modes of socialization, but I’m not ready for a daycare center.

Anyone care to share which centers have Kindergarten (ages 5-6) programs? I'm one of the parents who needs childcare at least 2 days a week so I can go into my office as a mission critical employee.
