[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right call to be closed, but terrible call to force childcare to be closed across the entire county for both days. [/quote]

Not all childcare centers are closed.  Yes, the ones in schools, but not every single childcare center is closed.  If you have a job that demands you be available during these times, it would probably be best to find different childcare arrangements.  It isn't that hard. [/quote]
It is that hard, actually. 
Claiming that plenty of other childcare options exist does not make it so. 
Rec-center based before/after care option near my elementary does not operate during all the many (many, many, many) MCPS non-student days and early dismissal days. 
Home-based care isn’t a good fit for  everyone, nor are there sufficient spots under that model for kids current in before/after care in school buildings.  [/quote]

+1000. MoCo isn’t New York City.  There aren’t lots of before/after care options in most neighborhoods. My kids are past the childcare years, the only option for group care was at the kids’  elementary school.  And it was expensive.  To have it closed for a week must be very frustrating to parents who pay hundreds of dollars a month to have that backup care.  [/quote]
