Montgomery backs half day kindergarten plus private care models
Montgomery County Council unanimously supports three demonstration programs for half day kindergartens paired with private child care. Sept start with a $36,000 county supplement per location, plus $12,000 staff funding and subsidies for low income families. The plan excludes a Clear Spring Planetarium after a 5-2 vote to cancel the April hearing. An interagency workgroup will run sites, set standards, hire providers, monitor progress, and extend services beyond the first year.
