Daycares fall under the Maryland Department of Education so changes come from the state level. Since we are in phase 2 that means that daycares in Maryland will accept the children of essential employees, nonessential employees returning under phase 1 and nonessential employees returning to work for phase 2. the exceptions are Montgomery county, PG and I believe Baltimore (although I’m not sure if Prince Georges or Baltimore have the same restrictions that Montgomery county has). In montgomery County we are still only under phase 1 which means technically we may only watch essential children and children to phase 1 employees. This was not made clear to daycares so that may be why you have phase 1 and phase 2 employees back in care in Montgomery county. Also, only one parent must fit into that category in order for a child to qualify to return.

Since it sounds like you're a child care provider, I wanted to point out that federal employees *are* phase 1 employees.  They're plausibly even essential employees, but there's little question that federal agencies are allowed to operate during phase 1.[/quote]

Yes I am a provider. I didn’t realize that I addressed several employees, my apologies if I confused anybody. In general a lot of people were confused on what essential employees versus nonessential employees meant. Daycares are going by the governors executive order on the definition of essential versus nonessential.[/quote]

My point was just that the posts here seem to indicate that many providers are goi g with narrower definitions than what is described in the executive orders. Federal employees were the main example. Feds are explicitly listed in the section on essential employees. And certainly federal agencies are covered by phase 1 reopening. If daycares are turning away feds, then they haven't read the executive orders.[/quote]

Would you mind linking to where federal employees return under phase 1. The list I have goes by specific profession not “federal”.  [/quote]

NP. It’s in the executive order. I’m at an agency that can’t telework at all, and they gave us letters to give to childcare facilities, saying we qualify for EPCC services.[/quote]

That would’ve made you an essential employee under the original executive order. I’m specifically asking about the poster who said that all federal employees return to work qualify for phase 1. I just read through the executive order but I’ve missed it. Believe me when I say that if it is allowed under phase 1 there are many daycare providers who would love to take their old clients back.[/quote]

1) Executive Order 20-03-25-01 defines essential employees as including government employees required to work during the state of emergency. I assume the fed in your family is required to work, at least if you to continue to collect a paycheck. Most of us are on mandatory telework, as far as I can tell.

2) Executive Order 20-06-03-01, paragraph V explicitly excludes federal agencies from closures, making them part of the phase one/two reopening
