[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are they closing 2 weeks for this? I read on facebook that some of the kids were being transferred to Bethesda locations.[/quote]

This is the question the community is asking (as well as some of our local elected officials).

The state’s letter is written in a way to convey the most negligence, omitting the mitigating factors. This was a preK child who was hiding on the playground and scaled a 6 foot fence. Obviously you cannot excuse this entirely, but it was a child who is of an age to know better and who was intent on mischief. It’s hard to understand how an isolated incident like this (to our knowledge the only time in the center’s history) rises to the level of an emergency situation that warrants a shut down. None of our children are in any danger.[/quote]

I get this is an anonymous board but why are people being so cagey about where they’re getting this information from? Who is the community and what community leaders? I have not seen anything in any of the larger Olney groups or Parent groups. So I question where this information is coming from.

The Shoe community and the elected officials we have reached out to. I don’t think the state anticipated the backlash they are receiving from the working parents of 150 children were left without care and told at 4 pm Tuesday after an isolated incident[/quote]

I happen to agree with you since it was an isolated incident and the child seemed, per your description, set on doing this. But I have not seen anything in the greater Olney community and you might want to reach out so that you have community members advocating on your behalf. But are you really without daycare because I have not seen anybody reaching out looking for child care or emergency temporary care.
