She wouldn't be the first.

Since I became a mom, my worst boss was a mom of three kids who never thought twice about complaining about working mothers.

Thanks, we trust the providers to make that call. Does MCPS not?

They use MCPS facility. What are you not understanding, my f jeesuz.

Do you not understand the difference between landlords and tenants? Do you seriously think it is a landlord's role to say "hmm, I think some of my tenants might not be able to get enough staff to come in today and might have to choose to stay closed, so I guess I will prohibit any of my tenants from having the choice to open in the first place?"

(Leaving aside the fact that there is exactly zero evidence of any staffing challenges in the first place.)

This isn't like a building owner telling a store that they can't open. The terms of usage of the MCPS buildings and the potential scheduling liabilities are disclosed to the providers and shared with the clients. You don't have to think they are right or to like them in order to understand that those are the rules of engagement.

The issue isn't whether or not MCPS *can* prevent child care providers from opening. It is whether or not they *should.*

MCPS is publicly accountable (or should be, at least) as a taxpayer-funded government program. We can and should expect them to make sensible decisions.

Ad you said, they're not just a typical landlord here.

they should protect their employees. why are you anti-worker?

How does opening all day child cares at 9 but keeping beforecare closed protect MCPS employees? Who all were told to report at their regular time anyway?

Are you the same daft person asking why why why over and over. Do you read? This has been answered countless times on this very thread. Disgusting parents who dgaf except for themselves and not even for the people who look after who should be your most precious gift(s).

Lady the child care providers were ready to open, and have done so without incident for years. You are making up this fake concern for the staff.

MCPS noted concern for its staff in its explanatory letter posted above. I get that it is impossible to believe that MCPS cares about its staff being in inclement weather.

I mean, no school cares about working parents. And covid should have shown us all that. Best thing is to lower your expectation that the school is your friend. It isn't. It is there to provide education, and they have 1,000 other competing interests that they have to listen to and satisfy. Prepare for the fact that the school isn't going to satisfy every need you have and learn to fill in the gaps.

MCPS doesn't operate before or after care

Probably, but she didn't close beforecare, so I'm not sure what your point is.

also accurate, but obviously they can influence whether the before/after care in their buildings open or close.

It was in their public message. "Emergency personnel report on time and follow guidelines for delayed openings."

Find another child care that is not inside a MCPS facility. Like now. Do not need parents (if you are one) such as this one in any of child care places that are in a MCPS facility
