[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm back with an update with an official email (emphasis is mine):

"MSDE HAS ANNOUNCED THE REOPENING OF CHILDCARE AND CLASS SIZES
MSDE announced on June 10, as part of the State's phase 2 plan, the reopening of childcare programs in Maryland. ******Please note, Montgomery County is currently in Phase 1. When Montgomery County transition to Phase 2, we will then align with the State.****** All childcare programs can reopen AT THAT TIME as long as they have competed and submitted a reopening verification form from MSDE and follow new group size guidelines. The new guidelines are as follows:
Centers: Class sizes in child care centers are now expanded to a maximum of 15 individuals per classroom with a ratio of no more than 1:14 for three and four year-olds. This is a temporary relaxing of the regulations.  Ratios have not changed for infants and toddlers.
Family Child Care will revert back to pre-COVID-19 regulations with no more than 8 children with a maximum household capacity of 15. This does not mean 15 children. This means the adults (residents) in the home combined with the 8 children cannot exceed 15. 
Current EPCC and EPSA programs do not need to complete a new form. They do, however need to submit a personnel list and staffing pattern to their licensing specialist. They also need a qualified staff person in the 3 and 4 year old classrooms. 
Montgomery County will continue to support child care programs with essential supplies (PPE's and cleaning supplies) based on actual enrollment through July 11. Lists will come directly from MSDE. Programs will receive an email Monday morning from "[/quote]

OP here.  Our daycare is opening June 24th so I was pretty close with my prediction!

Anyways, I don't know if 1:14 for a 3 year old is a good idea.  That seems really high.  I'm trying to convince my DH to do it in July.  [/quote]
