[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many states and school districts deliver a significant share of their Pre-K through private-sector child care/preschools.  Hopefully MCPS will do this as well.  Not only does it help deal with space constraints, it's actually really important if you don't want expanded/universal Pre-K to screw up the child care system. (It's very hard for centers to operate financially if they lose most of their 3 and 4 year olds to public schools-- they either shut down or jack up costs for infant and toddler care exorbitantly to compensate.  Keeping those kids in centers for Pre-K, and providing funding to those centers to help them hire qualified staff and meet all the requirements of the Pre-K program, can strengthen the child care system rather than weakening it.)[/quote]

What will they cut to pay for this? [/quote]

They won't make cuts. The county will raise property taxes, because of the Blueprint's underfunded mandate from the MD legislature. First in line to thank for this is state Senator Nancy King, from Montgomery Village.[/quote]
