Right now I think most of us are hoping they are going to reopen soon and having Blippi watch our kids like during covid.

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

It's never been spelled out, but I believe "unsupervised" = the class went inside and this kid was left on the playground alone. Mischief ensued.

the child was unaccounted for outside until a staff member realized that the child was missing and notified the
Center’s Executive Director. In response, all available staff members were mobilized to search for the missing child.
Ultimately, the child was located by three women in a neighboring area who contacted the police. It was reported
that the child had been missing for about 35 minutes.


And "left the playground" = scaled a 6 foot chain link fence.


They are right off Georgia Ave too. That could have been a worse outcome.


Thankfully it was the back fence!
