A group of parents are organizing to fight the impending closure of the Sunny Days child care center in Riverdale Park.

Parents who use the center, located inside the U.S. Department of Agriculture building at 4700 River Rd., learned in January that it will close later this year, as the federal government will be selling the space where its located.

The 60 families who currently rely on Sunny Days will have to find alternative child-care arrangements by August, but some hope they can find another location to allow it to remain open.

Organizers of the protest note that the closure contradicts the Trump administration’s directive for federal workers to return to their offices.

“Federal workers, like many working parents, depend on stable, accessible, and high-quality childcare,” they note in a letter to elected officials.
