[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, this is all helpful, thank you for chiming in everyone so far.  Our Center is also in a federal building--unfortunately, the one I work in.  This would be easier if it was just another daycare :(.  The closure was bad enough, but it came with just a complete breakdown of communication from the director, too.  We didn't find out that daycare was closed until after 7 PM one day.

I really hope our director received a lot of complaints, because I like the daycare, I like the staff, my daughter loves it, and obviously I like the convenience.  I feel like there has to have been some alternative here, since virtually all daycares in downtown DC were able to open on Thursday, and many even on Wednesday.

[quote=Anonymous]DC center director here. We follow DCPS so opened yesterday with a 2-hour delay. Luckily only a few kids showed up because most staff called out. [/quote]

Out of curiosity, what would you have done if too many kids showed up?  [/quote]

Not the pp but a preschool teacher that’s worked in childcare centers. In those situations, typically they’ll pull office workers (directors, managers, etc…) to help maintain ratios. They’ll also combine rooms. Say both of class A’s teachers came and neither of class B’s teachers did, but they only had 2 kids and half of class B came. They’d put all the kid’s with class A for the day. But if they ran out of options like that, they’d probably have to start turning kids away. There are specific adult to child ratios they have to maintain based on OSEE/state and fire codes
