Center Closings

Inclement Weather

Montgomery Child Care Association is usually open even if Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) are closed for inclement weather.

• Our programs usually close only if MCPS Administrative Offices or the Federal Government offices close.
• When MCPS schools are closed for bad weather, we open a little later so staff may arrive safely before families do.
• Please call your child's center before arriving to make sure enough staff have arrived to operate the center.
• If there is a delayed opening and weather conditions deteriorate, please call your center back for possible updates.
• For recorded information on Montgomery County Public Schools closings, please call 301-279-3673.
