[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IRS Bright Horizons closed for the first of the furlough days, but they turned that into one of the teacher education days (renewing CPR and education certs for the teachers)  when they would have closed anyways so that the parents were not out two days.  The second day they were open, but everyone had to check in through the front entrance on the opposite side of the building and be escorted back and forth.  A royal pain.  The third day, they finally made arrangements with security so that parents and kids could come in through the daycare entrance again and just have to sign in in the office for drop off and pickup (we normally have to sign into the daycare and we just signed in two places instead of one).

I checked with our director and the IRS downtown and in New Carrollton (the two centers are jointly run) are still trying to negotiate with GSA on what they can do.  Fortunately, they have said that for the few families where neither parent works for the government, they will investigate options for children to be cared for somewhere else locally.  But we won't k now more until later in the week.[/quote]

Are you at New Carrollton? The center at IRS downtown was closed for 2 of the 3 furlough days. They helped you find space at another center if you needed it, but they weren't open. [/quote]
