[quote=Anonymous]This is probably more venting than an actual question...  But I'd still love to hear others' thoughts on this.

While Maryland is (sort of) loosening restrictions on who can use the essential personnel daycares, it's still being heavily regulated and restrictive.  Daycares can't open without going through a fairly complicated process, so people's regular daycares are often not open.

Yet, many of us are expected to work- if not going into work, at least working from home.

What exactly does the county/state expect people with infants and toddlers to do?  Do they really think we should be sending our kids to the opened daycares that are now filled with only high-risk kids?  And now that the state is no longer paying for daycare, that might mean paying for daycare twice: 1) paying your "regular" daycare to reserve your spot, and 2) paying the temporary essential personnel daycare.

They're putting parents in an impossible situation by not giving parents more (paid) child care options.  The least they could do would be to completely deregulate providers caring for children in a single family (or perhaps even 2-3 families).[/quote]
