[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And why are they spending money on building early childhood centers?  Pre-K can be operated by high quality child care providers at lower cost and is much more convenient for working families.  And the more Pre-K classes there are in schools, the more it destabilizes the child care market and leads to higher prices for families and child care program closures.  It's one thing to go ahead with it despite that if you actually have the classroom space available.  But it's just stupid to spend tens of millions of dollars on facilities cost for something that's not necessary and is arguably harmful to the county.[/quote]

Blueprint requires and lack of high quality Pre-K.  Go listen to the updated they’ve provided specifically on this area[/quote]

The Blueprint requires that between 50-100% of each county's Pre-K slots be located at private child care providers.  Montgomery County is at 5%, with only a couple hundred slots through private providers so far.  Their focus absolutely should be on growing the  private side, not wasting our tax dollars on unnecessary physical facilities for public early childhood centers.[/quote]

Most Pre-K classes are in the elementary school. [/quote]
