Ours is an EPCC. They said they haven’t received payment from the state for April and are concerned about making payroll. I tweeted at Hogan’s communications director, who is normally responsive. No response. I’m calling Annapolis on Monday. It’s unconscionable because the EPCCs can’t charge essential workers and have to pay for their own sanitization, so it’s very expensive childcare to provide.

Phase 1 may start as early as next week. Then Phase 2 COULD begin two weeks later (so around June 1). But that would require a lot of thing to go right, so July 1 seems more realistic but still optimistic.

Nope, I didn’t watch it. Was just reading summaries. After you said this, I tried looking it up but I didn’t see any mention of daycares opening in stage 2.


It’s in the plan.

Has no one read it?


Given that most people here are probably struggling with teleworking and childcare already, no, who has time to read a 30 page plan.

I skimmed it- childcare centers are in the medium risk category for reopening. Not a lot of details, we will have to wait and see.

Daycares will open in phase 2 but I have not heard any officials willing to predict when we would reach phase 2.
