DAYCARE SHUTDOWNS ALL THE TIME

[Anonymous]

You need to be on the same page with your employers. Unfortunately this is going to happen.

Despite masks, my daughter has been sick with a cold twice this flu season. So that's twice we've gone without care. Plus once the daycare shutdown for a vacation and needed time to quarantine & test.

There is no other solution unless you go the Nanny route, temp babysitter or change daycares (but all are doing this). IMO a Nanny is much more dangerous than daycare.

Sounds like your daycare isn’t taking good precautions.

They have rules they have to follow. Will depend on the clients/staff they have and how good they are at enforcing them. Maybe your daycare is overlooking things.

So you’re saying my daycare has tons of outbreaks that aren’t being reported? Yeah, not happening. Contact tracing is good in MD — they’d be picked up.

My previous comment was probably unfair — the daycare is probably being careful. The families are being idiotic.

Move to an inhome daycare. Then it’s only 3-4 families, not 20 different families in a classroom. That’s what we had to do. No closures. Although my kids got a cold a few weeks ago, but all 4 of us tested covid negative and flu negative.

January is going to be the worst for closures. Anyway to plan ahead for that, maybe bring someone in for the month?

Thank you, something to keep in mind.

NP. It's not that your comment was "probably" unfair. It's that it WAS 100% unfair and untrue. There are many studies that show it isn't transmission happening in schools or day cares, but rather families taking risks and making bad choices. You may retract your erroneous and baseless statement now. We'll wait.

... I did retract it, when I said “it was probably unfair.” I revised it and said the daycare was probably being careful and that the families are being idiotic.

It wasn't "probably" anything. It was definitely and certainly off-base and inaccurate. Demonstrably so. Are you a politician or a Real Housewife with that wishy-washy, no-responsibility taking "admission"? Are you the type to say "I'm sorry IF I hurt your feelings..."?

It’s that, or complete closure, or constant exposure risks by keeping it open.

You need to have plan as if daycare could be closed at any time, any day. Yes, it’s terrible. No, it won’t be resolved any time soon.

Get the vaccine as soon as you can and encourage others to do the same - it’s the only way to shorten your purgatory.

We have the option for vaccination, the other families how are the uncertain variables. Great advice, looking for more of a schedule based personal viewpoint.

Thanks for not being an emotional unhinged person. This thread was for constructive creative options not to bash each other. Everyone is going through hard times but tearing each other down will no help anyone. Why are we not pulling together and providing helpful tips on what you found to work for your family which other may be eternally grateful for?

Wow, now you’re the one who is overreacting.

NP. If you want an unemotional, supportive thread, you might want to take the caps lock down instead of shouting in your title. You might want to be rational, thoughtful and reasonable yourself instead of blaming day cares which clearly can literally not operate normally and predictably during an abnormal and unpredictable time.

You trying to shout and irrationally blame and then backpedal and whine for reasonable and supportive responses is laughable. Do better.

Sorry OP, the only women on here are overwork and unsexed. Who wants to be around these negative women constantly? Not their husbands LOL. Keep up your positivity!

To answer your question... We have hired a part time nanny along with daycare. This allows us to ensure there is away care at all times. Good luck.

That is so unfair. Studies show that in schools and daycare, it's not in-school transmission that is happening. It is some dumbass parents still taking their family to Disney or going to a family gathering, then not staying out of school/care for two weeks.

Find a smaller place. Less families means less exposure.
