We are in a church preschool and are about to withdraw from the school with a 30-day notice. This way, the school gets tuition for March and April even though we are not there but we will get the May tuition back. DC will start K this coming fall.

Op singed the contract! That means nothing to you? Some people.


The contract says she can cancel with a 30 day notice. That is what she is doing.


The contract also says that they will provide care. They are not. I get why, but don’t act like OP was the first to break the contract.

I'm about to pull my kid. She is starting K in the Fall and we already planned on camps this summer. I will give 4 weeks notice and then hire a part time sitter until camps (hopefully) start.

OP is probably a trump hater but does not think we should all pitch in to help our vital community services. Hypocrite

Where are your kids going may I ask?


We are in silver spring.

This is me. Meant to add that I will decide next week - that’s when our state (MD and MCPS) will have to decide next steps and hopefully give more information.
