[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With all due respect, you are not going to be able to give him what a preschool can provide especially with a younger one. He will miss potentially one year of classroom engagement and gains if you keep him at home.  BTW why would he have to stay home for the year? [b]Nobody is saying COVID will last the year. [/b] Also, you will likely burn out.  This all seems so ridiculous. If it wasn’t safe, the governor and health departments wouldn’t open up preschools.[/quote]

Lots of people are saying COVID will last a while.  I would be surprised if COVID was somehow gone in January.  Even [b]if[/b] a vaccine successfully completes trials in January it's going to take a long time before it is distributed and given to people.

Does that mean keep your child out of preschool?  That's a personal decision.  It's not riskless especially if you have someone high risk at home.  It may be that children don't catch or spread the virus amongst each other but we really still don't know enough.  Spending hours each day in a room with other kids does create a situation where the virus could spread based on what we know now.  When we send DD back to daycare we know it means she can't her grandparents until everyone has a vaccine.  We have to balance our own mental health, which of course impacts DD, with the risks of the virus.[/quote]
