Bar-T gets go-ahead to operate in MCPS schools

Bar-T Families and Friends, This is the email I’ve been waiting all summer to send. Today we met with MCPS and have been given the “go ahead” to run our Distance Learning Hubs in MCPS schools. This is very exciting news and we can’t wait to get started. We don’t yet know how many classrooms we will have, or what our total capacity will be, but I’m confident we will be able to take anyone that wishes to use Bar-T for their child’s distance learning solution this fall. It’s important to know, from the outset, that MCPS has informed us that we will not be able to begin on August 31st. They have been incredible partners in finding a solution for child care, but we are only a piece of a larger puzzle in their operations. Given that there will be large-scale material distribution during the first weeks of school, it’s just not possible for anyone else to safely utilize the space. MCPS has given us the tentative date of September 14th as the first day we could open, but we are hopeful to move that date forward as details are ironed out. As we understand that you are anxious to secure care for your child(ren) this fall, registration will begin tomorrow August 11th at 9am. Thank you for your continued support and patience as we navigate this process. We’re excited to be getting our programs up and running for you this Fall. Best, Joe Joe Richardson CEO, Bar-T
