[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We heard from our center that Montgomery County is continuing to restrict their ability to open for everyone because they are only in stage 1. For the providers on here, whom in the county could parents call to complain? And can the state intervene at this point to require the county to allow child care centers to open? [/quote]

What does “restrict their ability to open” mean? Ours has been open for the whole time—first as an EPCC, now open to more families, but with capacity restrictions.

So what do you mean by restrict their ability? [/quote]

Restrict their ability in that the state is saying that it is now open to everyone, not based on phases of reopening. And the capacity restrictions have increased (to 15/room from 10). MCPS is saying that they will only allow people authorized to have daycare in phase 1 to enroll, and At the lower capacity.[/quote]

MCPS doesn’t have control over daycares.[/quote]

Not right now. No one in Montgomery County has regulatory control over daycares, since that rests in the state.

Yet, the county is still keeping them shut down, and presumably some department is going to have to oversee that. It seems like it will either be MCPS or HHS. (Probably the latter)[/quote]

But for how long? Until we get to phase 2? Or some unspecified time beyond that?[/quote]

Presumably until stage 3, which is when the original plan from the state opened them up to everyone. But who knows. [/quote]
