Students Protesting Plans to Close Mongtomery College Child Care Centers

Montgomery College will close two child care centers, at its Takoma Park and Rockville campuses, after the centers lost more than $405,000 in 2015.

Some students are angry enough that they have started an online petition to reopen the centers.

Students get a break on child-care costs, which makes it affordable for some to go back to school. Those benefits will still be offered at the Germantown location, but some of the students' classes are not, students said.

Mongtomery College has started an email address for students to share their concerns. (Click here for the email address.)

They will also meet face to face with the students, officials told News4. However, they said there were no plans to reverse the decision.
