Is it irresponsible to use daycare if it is open?

Well I just got back from the playground and I can tell you now there’s no way I am pulling him out entirely. Everyone is out and about. Millennials are partying and having brunch. But I’m supposed to sacrifice? Forget it. He’s not at risk and the school made the decision to stay open, so I am sending him.

Closed until April 20th is irresponsible. Sad

Agreed. That is longer the the schools. Sounds like your provider wants a one month paid vacation.

Which is exactly why it will continue to spread.

I’m in almost the same situation and I chose to keep my child home effective Friday (daycare ended up closing but that wasn’t even a factor). I wanted them to be able to send the highest risk caregivers home to stay safe while the lowest risk caregivers could be there for the families with no other options.

It sucks. I worked from home with a toddler and an elementary aged kid yesterday and I will for the next few weeks. But I would do it anyhow even if the center was open. Because those people have been my community for as long as I’ve been a parent and communities take care of each other.

Ours is open but it’s a small in home where she knows no parents have been out of the country. The kids must wash hands on arrival and get their temperature checked regularly. They clean and bleach daily. They work very hard. They are open as they serve some parents who need to work (and not telework).

Pp here. At pickup we get a report on his temperature.

and when another family pulls a dose and drop and no fever gets detected?

You can get asked to leave this daycare if you are known for pulling this. And there’s no way to do this without being found out.

Pp here. We are asked (even before this) to disclose any time we send our child on any meds. Dose and drop without notification is not allowed.

So I suppose everyone is giving their nanny a paid month off too? Social distancing and all. Oh you’re not? How convenient.

Not sure you know how old Millennials are. The oldest millennials are pushing 40.
