Daycare?

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know of any daycares that are going to take in older kids this year given the school closures? We are on Cap Hill if that helps -- but I think willing to travel within reason.

I know that some aftercare providers plan to open for their traditional hours DL or not.

I think Bambini on Mass Ave NW is going to offer a small cohort of older kids spots, but you may need to be an alum to get offered a spot. Were your kids in daycare when they were younger? Have you contacted that daycare to see what they are offering? You might also reach out to other parents with a kid the same age before contacting a daycare. They might be more inclined to offer something if you can guarantee 3-4 kids up front.

A home day care might be more flexible. What ages are your kids? Sometimes daycares aren’t licensed to take older kids.

I believe Busy Bees is going to operate out of Hill Centwr.

Most good home daycares don't take older kids because it messes up their schedules and activities, plus older kids are going to be bored.

I’m sending my almost 5 year old to a home day care with the toddler.

Will DCPS be running its after school program?

They haven't announced it yet. They said on the town hall this week that they would make an announcement some time in the next few weeks. I know that the DL v. Hybrid question is waiting on some info and advice from DC Health. I would bet aftercare is hung up in that same process.

NP. I really don't see how DCPS is going to start with anything but DL given where the data is trending.

I got an email earlier this week postponing aftercare registration, which was supposed to begin on the 27th I think. It just said registration is delayed given the mayors announcement to delay school plans until the 31st and thanks for your patience.
