[quote=Anonymous]Bright Horizon’s “provisional” license for the NSF-CDC daycare has been extended through the end of 2011.  Parents were notified of this on September 28.

For some reason, Bright Horizons was unable to get many of its the problems solved during its previous 3-month provisional license period, with both ratios and missing documentation (despite allocating about a half-dozen managers to doing so).  Fortunately though, there have been no further cases of abuse for the past two months or so.  But based on the continuing problems, Arlington County did not give then a regular license back, but they didn’t revoke their license either.

My own opinion is that extending the provisional license is bad for families here.  Lots of staff have left and we know that no qualified candidate will want to come teach in a center that has a history of recent, serious problems, and on top of that has a provisional license that can be revoked at any time.  Same goes for the search for another new full-time director.  Staff morale has become horrendous here among the staff that are remaining, and obviously this impacts the children’s care.

There is still a possibility that the CDC’s Governing Consortium will choose a new daycare company besides Bright Horizons soon, so in that event we can start getting this Center back to normal much quicker.
