Request For Proposals No. 6104.1.2
Before and After Childcare for Montgomery County Public Schools – Multiple Locations
1.0. INTENT
Through this Request for Proposal (RFP), Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) is seeking
multiple pre-qualified agencies, organizations, companies, or corporations interested to provide
before and after school childcare services at Multiple Locations for the 2026–2027 school year,
starting in August 2026, with the opportunity to extend services for six additional school years.
The successful applicants will receive a permit from the Community Use of Public Facilities
(CUPF) for the next school year. The permit will be renewed annually without a scheduled rebid
for six (6) additional years except as noted below.
If no responsible or responsive proposal is received for a specific location, the Request for Proposal
shall be re-advertised in an additional twenty-one (21) day increments until a responsive and
responsible proposal is received and accepted. All proposals received will be reviewed and rated
by a selection committee (“Selection Committee”) comprised of MCPS, MCCPTA and MCEA,
MCAAP and SEIU labor union staff. Following issuance of a Notice of Intent to Award to a
proposed tenant, lease approval will be contingent upon feedback received from the surrounding
community and authorization by the Board of Education.
2.0 INTRODUCTION
MCPS is the 15th largest school system in the United States, and the largest in the state of
Maryland. During the 2023–2024 school year, MCPS served more than 160,000 students from
157 countries speaking 167 languages. With a Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Operating Budget of
approximately $3.32 billion, MCPS employs more than 25,400 employees. Among the 211
schools that MCPS operates, 45 are National Blue Ribbon schools. Three Montgomery County
Public Schools (MCPS) have been recognized as the top schools in Maryland as ranked by Niche,
a national school and college search platform. In the latest rankings, an additional 18 MCPS
schools—across elementary, middle, and high school levels—also placed in the top 10 for the 2025
Best Public Schools in Maryland. Overall, MCPS was recognized as the second Best School
District in Maryland and the second Best School District for Athletes in Maryland.
MCPS is governed by the Montgomery County Board of Education (Board) established by the
authority of the laws of the State of Maryland. The Board, under its authority creates and adopts
policies and regulations necessary for operating the school system.
Community Use of Public Facilities (CUPF) was created as an independent office by Montgomery
County Government in 1978 to administer and coordinate the after-hours use of Montgomery
County Public Schools and later County buildings by the community. The enabling legislation
3
(Section 7, Maryland Education Article) established an Interagency Coordinating Board (ICB),
comprised of key MCPS and county officials, as well as citizen representatives, to formulate
community use policies. CUPF has been given the authority to administer the before and after
school childcare provider permitting process as authorized by Board of Education Resolution 19-
13 and Executive Regulation 6-17AM, Before and After School Childcare Programs in Public
Schools. There are approximately 118 before and after school licensed childcare programs in
Montgomery County Public Schools.

5.0 DEVIATIONS
MCPS expects the Applicant to obtain a license from CUPF for each location that has terms and
conditions, except and unless modified by MCPS or CUPF. Proposals must clearly identify any
variances from or objections to the specifications in this RFP and the terms and conditions of the
license agreement template. Lacking any response to the contrary, MCPS will infer that the
Applicant agrees to the specifications of this RFP and each term and condition of the license
agreement template. In particular, the insurance provisions set forth in Section 16 of the license
agreement are non-negotiable.

following statements and submit a unique response for each location to which they are applying.
Provide your response to the statements using Attachment C. Do not rank/select more school
locations than your capacity. (i.e. if you can only serve 7 schools then only rank 1 through 7, if
you can only service one school then rank only 1, if you have capacity to service all 17 locations,
